Description:

 At the turn of the 70s, songwriters like Tony Macaulay (‘Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes’), Cook and 
Greenaway (‘Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart’), Lynsey De Paul and Barry Blue (‘Storm In A Teacup’) and John 
Carter (‘Beach Baby’) were bossing the singles charts and Radio 1 while more serious acts such as Led Zeppelin and 
Pink Floyd concentrated on album sales. 
“Chip Shop Pop” is a stellar collection of super-melodic, expertly crafted songs; it gathers two dozen of the songs that 
got away, all potential hits written by these Denmark Street-schooled songwriters. You might have only heard these 
records once or twice before, coming out of a passing kid’s transistor radio, or in the background in a cafe, or a 
chippie, and then they disappeared into the ether never to be heard again – until now.
