After the massive success of the 2LP "Fill Your Head With Rock" sampler, CBS UK stressed to release this follow up later the same year. Musically the range is wider - it goes all the way from country pop and ballads, through rock and blues, to modern jazz and hard core psych. There are great numbers on here, some of them from very rare albums, still I don't think it's as good as FYHWR. Maybe it's just me, but there are some subtle differences. Both were compiled by producer, manager and art director David Howell, but while the first was carefully prepared with two main aims - establish the English market for double albums and present CBS as a leading label for contemporary music - this seems reratively hurried. The 1:st press cover has thinner quality, there's no booklet and the audio more compressed. Track choice is still better than most other vinyl compilations, but the overall appearance isn't of the top notch FYHWR caliber. Pics on front and labels are early Arnold Schwarzenegger and his most commercially spread before the net. UK press was domestic only and most of the export made in Holland. In Spain it was called "Rock -71" and in France "Superb Pop Session No 3" with different cover. Not issued in US. 1:st UK had labels as shown here, thin Garrods & Lofthouse f/o cover and custom ad inners with "Rock Buster" logo. (SÄM*)
