The sleeve notes of this June '74 issue read: “Well, Kids, Teenagers, Wombles, Mums and Dads we’ve cracked it - we hope - for the 38th time, ‘cos this is volume 38 of the most popular, regularly released pop album in the world. ‘Fact’. We’ve got the greatest session musicians and vocalists in Britain doing their very best to give you the sounds made famous by the Big Name Pop Stars. Like the Eurovision winning song, “Waterloo”; like “If I Didn’t Care”; like “Sugar Baby Love” (from No. 27 to Top Spot in two weeks!). Compare our sounds with the originals - you won’t be disappointed. So grab your copy of “Top of the Pops” - you won’t have far to go to find one. They’re on sale in the biggest and best Chain Stores, Supermarkets, Department Stores, Bookshops, Radio, TV and record Shops - you name ‘em, we’re there! And if you happen to be in Dubai or Kuwait, Iceland or Abu Dhabi, Nigeria or the Argentine, we’ll still be there as big and as popular as ever. You won’t get away from “Top of the Pops”; so give up, grab your album, and have fun!”
