5 out of 5 stars Caution.......2006-12-12

The first few tracks are her big 60s hits but most of the tracks are from the 50s which had a completely different sound than her 60s vocals. Some people do not like the girl singer sound of the 50s so beware before buying.

      2 out of 5 stars THESE ARE MID 1980s RE-RECORDINGS - NOT ORIGINALS.......2004-12-30

      If you want the original Petula Clark 1960s classic recordings, then buy "Ultimate Petula Clark" or "Platinum & Gold" on BMG or "Petula Clark Anthology" on Hip-O/Univeral or one of the Sanctuary/Castle collections.

      2 out of 5 stars Why fix it if it ain't broke !.......2003-02-11

      I was expecting a compilation of Petula's hits from the 60's. What is on this CD are recently re-recorded versions of her songs. Petula's voice is a clear as ever, but the arrangements are somewhat different. When you are used to hearing the original verions of these songs, it is a bit of a disappointment.

      1 out of 5 stars I agree!.......2001-06-24

      I ...was really disappointed upon ...listening to it. It's definitely a remix, shallow in sound and nothing close to the original songs. From now on, I will definitely read all reviews before buying something like this. I wish I knew about the Amazon reviews sooner...Now I'll have to buy another CD of hers but I'll just make sure it's the real thing! ....

      1 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for.......2001-03-05

      This album is proof of the maxim, "You get what you pay for." These are not the original hits. I don't know when or where they were recorded but if you're looking for the classic sounds you remember, pass this one by.

      1 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY THIS CD.......2000-11-15

      Do not be fooled. You are not going to get the original hits. This is a "bargain" CD made in Israel of new recordings of Petula's hits. They don't sound anything like the originals. Rather, they are "discofied" remakes with an annoying backup chorus and what sounds like a Casio-tone keyboard for accompaniment. VERY dissapointed, I wish I had bought the "real" greatest hits instead of trying to save a buck or two. This purchase will make me much more cautious of any affordable greatest hits CD's I see for sale.

              Customer Reviews:

              3 out of 5 stars VERY BEST OF ON PRISM LABEL ARE RE-RECORDINGS.......2004-12-30

              These are from the late 1980s and include some new songs to Petula's repertoire. But if you want the original 1960s recordings of her classics like "Downtown," buy a BMG or Sanctuary CD, not this one.
