UK Covers albums -
cassette and 8-track cartridge editions
Most of the albums on this site were issued on vinyl. However some of them had equivalent editions on one or both of the two main tape formats - cassette and 8-track cartridge. Each of these formats is looked at below, on a series-by-series basis.
A few of the series were actually marketed wholly or predominantly on tape, and so the links here navigate to the main page for those album series:
Hits From England's Top Twenty
Parade of Pops (Chevron)
Smash Tracks / Smash Hits
This Is Music
Hits Hits Hits
Top of the Pops also issued a substantial number of tapes and cartridges, but our sister site handles these editions, and details can be found here:
Top of the Pops
And so, allowing for the above, the series below are all the vinyl series with tape equivalents for some of the albums. Note - in the case of "Pye Chart Busters" and "12 Tops" there are a few albums on tape which have no vinyl equivalents at all!
