Buy One! Get One Free! Sort Of! UK TV-Advertised Compilation Albums Of The Early Eighties

Really this is just an excuse for me to post links to TPL posts about these sorts of records, since there'll be quite a few coming up in the early eighties before the NOW juggernaut runs them out of town.

Of course you weren't REALLY getting one free, just a slightly cheaper double album, but this one wasn't bad at all.

This is a VERY BRIEF edit of the original advert:

...and here are my 6000 or so words on the records themselves:
