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

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

Found a nice site about K-Tel albums that goes up to 1977 (K-Tel's peak era)
