Other than Arthur Brown, all the other "acts" are actually the Top Of The Pops cover versions, with made-up band/artist names to accompany each track. I've also got a few more besides that I've picked up over the years from similar comps, including a horrific Street Life that sounds like a car accident! You'll give them one listen then never bother again!
