This CD is a must for any person genuinely interested in music from the 1960's. The songs have not aged at all, if anything they sound as great today as when they were they were first released. This is not surprising given that Petula never failed to deliver. Petula's songs have stood the test of time, and this often cannot be said for many singers. There is no doubt that the writing skills of Tony Hatch and his superb orchestra contributed greatly to the success of Petula, but at the end of the day they were a perfect match. Don't miss out on this collection.The Ultimate Petula Clark
July 24, 2008I just love this CD - nearly every song is a winner. I first heard these songs as a kid and they sound just as good today. Pet Clark is a true '60s icon. Listening to this CD while driving home from work, I got to thinking that Ms. Clark's songs would make for a great Broadway musical - a Brit Invasion/swinging London theme.

I really enjoyed this C.D.!! The hits are amazing!! There are a few that I didn't know prior to reviewing this C.D., but the whole C.D. is wonderful!! What a voice!!!
June 4, 2008What a joyous trip down memory lane! Before there was Carly, there was Pet, part of the "British Invasion" of the mid 1960's. Hers were the songs of our high school years [at least mine], and have never lost the power of happy transport. She was never a "sex symbol", just a pretty girl from "across the pond" who sang happy music, and sang it well. I understand that, at 75, she's still singing; no comment, as I haven't heard her current voice.
Naturally, some of the 21 songs here will be better known than others..."Downtown" was her BIG HIT, and it leads off, as is quite proper. But, there were other hits, almost as big, and they're all here...."I Know A Place"...."Round Every Corner"..."Don't Sleep In The Subway"...and, using "I Don't Know How To Love Him", from "Jesus Christ Superstar", to close was a nice touch.
This is a fabulous album, and a great voyage in a time machine. My two kids are in their late 20s, and find this impossibly boring, while I find what they listen to plain impossible. Maybe you have to be past a certain age, to have actual memories, not just have heard about it... Never mind...Pet was wonderful, and, thru this CD, she still is.....
March 9, 2008You just can't listen to Petula Clark and not get a lift in your spirits. If you're a PC fan this CD is for your. If you're not a PC fan, then this CD will make you one.
