This series suspended or replaced the release of the Studio 33 albums Avenue had produced over the previous year.   Most of the tracks on these releases overlap with Avenue’s 7” EP releases and some albums are duplicated on the Marble Arch Chartbusters series.   The beginning of this series was titled 12 Top Hits and then changed to the title of England ’s 12 Top Hits.  

The first recordings were completed at City Of London Studios but later on in the series it reflected the use of Pye Studios also located in London.   Early musical credits are listed to The Clive Allan Orchestra and Singers but later credited The Alan Caddy Orchestra and Singers.   Former Tornados guitarist Alan Caddy is credited as Musical Director on all the early Avenue EPs and is the same person listed as Clive Allan.  Production is credited to Mel Gordon [rumored to be label owner Gordon Melville].

Grading System

Record

M = Mint Condition - The record has no surface marks whatsoever, it is thoroughly clean and appears unused and pristine. It is As New.

NM = Near Mint Condition - The record is virtually perfect, but there are very slight signs of marks, which are so light that they will have no effect on the quality of playback. It is almost As New.

EX = Excellent Condition - The record has slight marks, and has perhaps been played a few times. There should however be no reduction in the quality of playback.

VG = Very Good Condition - The record has some surface marks and has obviously been played many times. The record is still clean but the marks may perhaps effect the playback but only slightly.

G = Good Condition - The record has some surface marks and has obviously been played many times. The record is still clean but the marks may perhaps effect the playback but only slightly.

F = Fair Condition - The record has some scratches and has obviously been played many times. The record is still fairly clean but the scratches will effect the playback.
