Can You Tell These from The Originals?TOTP LPs live!!!

[son of stan]

Back in UK, inspecting my property empire, i found myself shopping in a Co-Op supermarket yesterday.

They have piped music playing and it is TOTP -style copies of hit records. I thought this had completely died out outside this board....My questions:

Has Lord Thames bagged a lucrative consultancy gig?

Is there somewhere still knocking out these recordings? Some of them were fairly recent hits...

I remember back in the late 90s / early 2000s seeing these kind of 'popular at the time' cover versions on cds.

You can experience the same horror in my local Co-op also.

It's slightly embarrassing when you find yourself humming along and then realise you're humming along to a version of some pop song or other that's even worse than the original.

B&Q also have these.

Presumably it's the same story of only having to pay PRS but not PPL fees.
