About the album
Issued in a custom yellow cellophane lined paper sleeve with cue sheets for radio presenters, the album had a 12 month broadcasting contract which permitted continued use until 30 May 1986.

Top of the Pops was a weekly BBC radio show distributed on LP, highlighting chart songs and new releases presented by BBC disc jockeys. The shows were an hour long and included about a dozen songs - both live BBC session recordings and album tracks, with the occasional interview segment.

Presented by Brian Matthew, the album was first aired on 29 May 1985. "A View to a Kill" is included, the most successful Bond-movie theme to date.
