You also found future stars on some, grinding out cover versions - such as Elton John. The Hits compilation of the early 70s were less than a quid but had some lovely pictures ouf nubile young ladies on the sleeve. The discs often had poor quality vinyl, in the mixture and the weight but, surprisingly, some fetch decent prices at auction.
K-Tel and Ronco began licensing hits from other labels in the early 70s znd gave much better value for money, with product heavilly promoted on TV and on Radio Mi Amigo (but not Caroline!).
