Amazon.de:Kundenrezensionen: Best of - from Crayons to Perfume

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 12. November 2003

Remember that perky little blonde/redhead from the sixties that sang, "To Sir With Love"? Oh yeah. Well, she never disappeared - only in the old USA. That girl born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie in 1948 had her first big hit, "Shout" (Isley Brothers) in 1967 at the age of fourteen. That song alone regularly sold enough copies to be in Britain's TOP 200 for the following 20 years!
She's recorded hit songs(on this set) written by Neil Diamond, Don Black, Mark London, Harry Nilsson, the Bee Gees, David Bowie and John Barry. The latter writer gave her, "The Man With The Golden Gun", a Bond film classic theme song. Oddly enough, Bowie was a big Lulu fan and helped her release, "Watch That Man" and "The Man Who Sold The World". Her song choices range from ballads to rock and roll standards. In the sixties she was virtually protected by the likes of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles who she had toured with. She was a legend as a teenager.
This collection of twenty songs if great even if it only goes as far as 1979. However, Lulu continued past that to this very day. If you can find her UK LP recording of "Independence", it is well worth the cost. Lulu proves that as a little Scottish lass, she is still at top form in her fifties. She has that kind of voice.

Lulu's best from the sixties and seventies

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 1. Dezember 2002

At her best, Lulu was - and still is - one of Britain's finest singers. This skilfully compiled CD proves it. Lulu also recorded some songs that really don't bear repeated plays, but Rhino has wisely excluded them from this set. It is for that reason that I bought this CD instead of one of the various British compilations. The best of her British sixties hits are here, but anybody seeking Let's Pretend, Love loves to love love, I'm a tiger and Boom bang a bang can find them elsewhere easily enough.
Shout (a cover of an Isley brothers song) is what Lulu is best remembered for in Britain, while To sir with love (which includes the phrase From crayons to perfume in it's lyrics) is what Lulu is best remembered for in America. Both of them, though totally different types of song, show Lulu at her brilliant best.
Other classics include The boat that I row (a British hit, and the flip side of To sir with love, which remained the B side in Britain), Leave a little love (a lovely ballad), Oh me oh my (later covered by Aretha), The man with the golden gun (one of the best James Bond theme songs) and I could never miss you, a top 20 American hit.
Also worthy of mention is the weird David Bowie song, The man who sold the world. I didn't like it when it was first released, but I appreciate it better now.
So, I regard this as the best compilation of Lulu's early music, it being that rare breed - a compilation that includes all the great tracks without all the rubbish.

Lulu From Crayons to Perfume,

Kundenrezension aus den USA 🇺🇸 am 18. Januar 2009

I bought this CD for one song. Morning Dew. Her rendition of this song, in the mid 1960's, has always stayed with me as one of the most beautiful versions ever sung. Her voice was angelic. I purchased this Rhino "Greatest Hits" version and thought, I'd finally found that one song missing in my collection that brings back so many fond memories of the Sixties, but boy was I surprised. This is not the version heard on AM radio back some 43 years ago that I have searched for. Rhino does such a magnificent job of bringing back all the great music from the past. I just wish they had put the "REAL VERSION" of Morning Dew on this "Greatest Hits" CD.
Now it seems that I will have to search the used record stores for that 1960's Vinyl Album to get the "Correct" version of Morning Dew that I have been searching for.

From her version of Shout!!! recorded before the Beatles and James Brown to her classic movie themes this woman has a voice that needs to be heard.

When I found out about her US tour, I scheduled tickets AND got a Combo Album of her various great hits. Although I do not agree that these are all her best tunes--they are good and fair and minus a solid remastering--the best collection she has.

Do not ignore her. She's a LuLu!!!

Good mix of hits she is known for and more obscure covers. Love her cover of Morning Dew. Great to see Jeff Beck's cover sung by Rod Stewart isn't the only great version of this classic.

"To Sir With Love" is so clean, it's sounds as if you're in the studio. Comes as no surprise to this reviewer, always having good luck with Rhino releases. Collectors will also like the fact this CD includes Lulu's last hit from the early 80's: "I Could Never Miss You", a hard to find single until Rhino included it in the compliation.
