The cover up was a practice by D.J's to keep a song secret and exclusive.
It started at the Twisted Wheel club. A label would be pasted over the disc to cover the artists name and song title. When asked what the record was, a false name would send you off to chase the wild geese.
The false name would often be the same song by a different artist. Darrell Banks' 'Our Love' rather than the J.J.Barnes version is a good example. The idea of this upload was to not name the track as a reminder of how it used to be .... but now that YouTube names the song .........

Duet by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
