I have my "Groovy Greats" buried somewhere in my collection. What I remember
was all the songs were drastically edited down to around 2 minutes to fit them
on the LP, worsely edited than the later K-Tel versions.
My copy of "24 Heavy Hits" had a model in psychedelic clothes standing in
front
of a early elevator in a "turn of the century" building. Very MOR-ish cover
for
a Top 40 hits collection.
24 Heavy Hits: Side One:
Cowboys To Girls – Intruders
1, 2, 3 – Len Barry
Fool For You – Impressions
Do Something To Me – Tommy James & The Shondells
1, 2, 3 Red Light – 1910 Fruitgum Company
Down At Lulu’s – Ohio Express
Yummy Yummy Yummy – Ohio Express
Mony Mony – Tommy James & The Shondells
Go Away Little Girl – Happenings
Down On Me – Big Brother & The Holding Company
Journey To The Center Of My Mind – Amboy Dukes
The Unicorn – Irish Rovers
Side Two
She’d Rather Be With Me – Turtles
Incense And Peppermints – Strawberry Alarm Clock
Love Is Like A Baseball Game – Intruders
Happy Jack – Who
Love Power – Sandpebbles
Never My Love – Sandpebbles
Jelly Jungle – Lemon Pipers
Rice Is Nice – Lemon Pipers
The Nitty Gritty – Ricardo Ray
La-La Means I Love You – Delfonics
The Beat Goes On – Sonny & Cher
May I Take A Giant Step – 1910 Fruitgum Company
Found a nice site about K-Tel albums that goes up to 1977 (K-Tel's peak era)
