Chart Choice (1974 - 1975)


After “Hot Hits” was discontinued in 1973, MFP initially refrained from issuing further pop covers albums – which is curious, because there are no indications that “Hot Hits” had become unpopular, and they might have sought to follow the series up.

After a while, they did just that by coming to an arrangement with Beatt International, for a new series to be launched at the end of 1974. The ensuing albums, the “Chart Choice” series, appear not to have caught the public’s imagination – possibly the soft-focus cover art was to blame, breaking style somewhat with the usual saucy sleeves. In the event the series ran to just three installments, terminating a mere six months after it had begun.
