I can't believe I stumbled across this wonderful cd. This is the Petula Clark compilation of my dreams. The first 12 songs comprise the 1968 WB Greatest Hits album, which consisted of all of her American hits from 1964 to the end of 1966, as well as the original recordings of "Call Me" and "You're The One", and the autobiographical "Two Rivers." Also, her 2 top ten hits from 1967 (This Is My Song, and Don't Sleep in the Subway) and her top 5 hit from 1968 (Kiss Me Goodbye) are included.

All of the songs included sound as fresh today as when they were originally released and the sound quality of this cd is even better than the excellent "Ultimate Petula Clark" cd which BMG released a few years ago.

If you are looking for a more comprehensive look at Petula's recording legacy, there are a number of box sets available, as well as the "Ultimate" cd. But if you just want the best of the Tony Hatch years, this cd is for you. Grab it while you can, you won't be sorry.

Anyone who loves Petula Clark will know all the hits and the few extras here.The sonic quality of this cd makes it worthwhile even if you have all her other compilations and albums.The songs leap out of the speakers with clear dimensional Petula. I recommend this cd without any reservation.

The nightingale sings!This one was done superbly!

This CD has all that any casual fan of Petula Clark could ask for and more, a highly enjoyable offering worth listening to over and over again.

Sound quality is quite good too.

THIS IS (INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK) The Petula Greatest Hits Collection of My Dreams on CD.

This re-issue/re-packaging of her Greatest Hits from late 60's brought back more happy memories than even I could have imagined. I don't know if it's her great voice, Tony Hatch's production on these original Vogue recordings, or if it's just simply the fact that they did their best to repackage this with the original artwork (that is so often missing) that makes the memories complete and vivid or what, but, suffice it to say, that this one did if for me! Thank you for including Kiss Me Goodbye, Don't Sleep In The Subway, & Petula's remake of "This Is My Song". I missed them then... I wanted them now and was so SURPRISED to see them on here! If you want a GREAT bit of nostalgia, or if you're just finding out who Petula is now, for the first time... THIS is the collection you're looking for. No only do you get all the songs, you get a photo of Petula from almost everyone of her original Warner Brothers American LP Releases just like on the original greatest hits LP (except "Color My World/Who Am I") cover!! Really, the only thing missing would be the Green Warner Bros/7 Arts lable from the original vinyl. Too many times with CD's there is little, if any resemblence to the original vinyl packaging of our youth and that is one of the MAIN things I do not like about CD's. They think they've got to change up everything and try to make it new...Sometimes, NEW IS NOT BETTER! Enjoy!!!

GREAT COLLECTION OF HER CLASSICS....GREAT MASTERING *SOUND* OF CD .. I ONLY WISH THE INSERT WOULD HAVE BEEN NOT SO SKIMPY...I GUESS I WAS EXPECTING MORE OF A BOOKLET TYPE INSERT WITH MORE INFO AND/OR PHOTO'S
