According to Discogs, Kings Road was a “Pickwick cover band with unknown singers and performers” that recorded around 30 albums with pop music marketed as “played and sung like the original hits”.
This includes (at least) ten volumes of “Super Hits” released between 1971 and 1973, six of which are shown here. The series logo features a bichromatic setting of Dave West’s Gotham Blockshadow C. The track names and other text are added in caps from Blippo Black.
