Album Info

Release Date: 1994

Label: Not On Label

This was the first release of the illegal series "Chartbusters" in 1994.
This one was released in a green cardboard sleeve, but there are 2 variants, one of it was released in a red cardboard sleeve and one of it was released in "the red jewelcase box".

Only the first and second part were this way released (cardboard and jewelcase) while then the 3rth edition (March / Volume 3 1994) was caught, and never saw the light.

It took 4 months to have the comeback with the number 7 (July 1994) which was released only in "the red jewelcase box" , and a variant also was released as a "new version" with "pink coloured paper-clips" that month. This one also was illegal.

Then there was also "variant number three" , the legal Chartbusters made by "Arty Records" but these CD's were a big flop.

The success of the legal and illegal Chartbusters didn't last long as the legal series stopped with the September (Vol. 9) edition. And the illegal series stopped with the October (Volume 10) edition, after they were caught again.

A number 11 (November 1994) never saw the light.

Known is that from then MTV Braun Eurocharts takes over the illegal month-CD business.
