An Off-Topic request for our friends from the UK

[PaGuy610]

I see a lot of Brits posting here and I have a question for some of the middle-aged folks. When I was stationed in Germany in the early 80's , there was a British tv show called "Top of the Pops" or something like that. A friend of mine had recorded a bunch of the bands that appeared on the show and made me a tape. Well, that tape is long gone and I was wondering if they ever released and cd's from that show. I am looking for the ones from the early to mid 80's. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

When my family was in Germany in the early 70's the PX sold LP's of the songs on the TV show so you may find what you are looking for.

Top of the Pops only aired bands that were in the UK top 40 singles chart, there was no other particular selection criteria.
So any compilation of popular British music from the 80's would cover what you want.

C.S. is right the selection came from the current UK top 40.

In the early 80's a a compliation record/tape was started called 'Now, Thats What I Call Music...'
They started at tape number 1 and have continued onwards, I think they are up to about number 72, but not sure.

Second hand places or ebay may have some of the early ones for sale which would cover the 1980's.
