A genuine vintage HMV compilation cassette dating from around 1990, featuring a selection of contemporary pop and dance hits from the late 1980s/early 1990s.

The striking yellow artwork features the iconic smiley-face design and prominently advertises “includes the smash hit PUMP UP THE JAM”, referring to Technotronic's hugely successful dance hit.

This is an interesting piece of early-1990s HMV compilation history, particularly for collectors of vintage cassettes, 1980s/1990s dance music and British-market HMV releases.
