Electric Coconut

Bill Wellings, Australian ex-pat (and former catalogue model), had pioneered the anonymous pop cover versions concept with the Top Six EPs in the mid-60s (a series which gave a big break to a young arranger by the name of Johnny Harris).

The first Hot Hits LP came in 1970, and features versions of 'Vehicle' and 'Groovin' With Mr Bloe' (the latter played by Larry Adler).
