During the 70s I was already an avid fan of Petula. I really don't mind her cover of most of my favorite tunes. She did a very good job singing those tunes. A very good singer most especially these 3 songs I wanted so badly, Thirty-first of June, You and I and The Song of my life. I collected most of her CDs and will collect more in future. Her voice was so special and nothing like her. To all the fans of Pet, buy her records you won't regret playing it over and over again.

Before I bought this (soon after its original release in 1999), I thought Petula was a decent singer with a few good hits. I originally had a greatest hits on vinyl, later replaced by a budget CD on which some tracks had some hiss. Neither of those included much more than the hits and the odd cover version. It was the extra tracks on this compilation (perfectly mastered without hiss) that made me realise that Petula's music is about much, much more than just her own hits.
I had assumed that, with 50 tracks, it would contain all the obvious hits, but I soon discovered that one big hit (I couldn't live without your love) is missing, along with a few lesser hits. As things turned out, the record company were saving these for a second volume (Music - the Pye Anthology volume 2) which is also available from Amazon and which I have also reviewed. Both volumes are excellent in their own way, and between them cover over 100 of Petula's finest recordings of the sixties and early seventies, plus a '99 remix of Downtown.
The 50 tracks on this volume are all sung in English (the second volume contains five sung in French) and include, along with the hits, some stunning cover versions and original songs, some of which she wrote herself. The hits include three excellent British hits from her pre-Downtown days (Sailor, Romeo and My friend the sea). Of the covers, my favourite is Elusive Butterfly, an excellent song but I never expected to hear another female singer come even close to matching Dolly Parton's brilliant 1984 version of the song. Petula matches Dolly on this one. There are many other good covers here, including A groovy kind of love, Days and Tears of a clown.
It was the unfamiliar original material that really convinced me that I should look for more of Petula's music. These include some songs she wrote herself (On the path of glory, Heart, I believe in love) as well as less-well known Hatch/Trent songs. Unfortunately, there was not enough room on this compilation for a really strong selection of such material to be included, but with fewer hits on the second volume, there are many more of her own songs there, together with more brilliant covers.
Between the two volumes, there are all the essential English-language tracks from the sixties, together with many other very desirable songs. The main French recordings can be found on Ses Plus Belles Chansons and C'Est Ma Chanson. Most of her original albums (English and French) have also been released on CD.
Even if you already have the excellent American compilation From Downtown to Sunset Boulevard, you will find much of interest on both British compilations.
Petula Clark is well represented on CD, and deservedly so. Before I bought this collection, I thought Dusty Springfield was Britain's best female pop singer. I was wrong - Dusty is brilliant, but Petula is MAGIC.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2011
A good collection of Petula Clarkes songs. Excellent sound quality of the original versions. This is definitely a Petula Clarke CD to own. The sound quality is excellent, the songs are not later versions sung when her voice had lost that early musical edge. The CD shows why Petula Clarke remains one of the best female singers ever. Fabulous lyrics, melodic tunes, beautifully sung. ..and outstanding sound quality so brilliant value.
