Issued in a custom yellow cellophane lined paper sleeve with a cue sheet for radio presenters, the album had a 12 month broadcasting contract which permitted continued use until 1 October 1983.

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.
