Being the most successful female singer in UK, Petula Clark has plenty of hits on both side of Atlantic, not to mention a number of collections from her half-a-century long career.
This 2007 album try to capture the wonderfulness of her voice within this double CDs collection. The first 25-track disc is the one that most fans would want, because not only it contains most of her standard hits ("Downtown", "Don't Sleep in the Subway", "My Love", "A Sign of the Time", "Kiss Me Goodbye", "Call Me", etc.), but also some of her early hits that did not chart in US including "Sailor", "Romeo", and "Chariot". The second disc packs with the good selections of theme song from films and broadway performances during 1970s and 1980s.
Unfortunately, this album misses a spot to be called the real ultimate collection for this British superstar. Because it misses a couple of her chart hits such as her first chart hit in UK "The Little Shoemaker" and one of her top40 hit from the 1960s "The Cat In The Window (The Bird In The Sky)". For cascual fans, this really is an excellent choice to buy and properly the only album they ever need. |
