The "Downtown" version is not the original, and I found this disappointing. There's an interview on this, and I'd rather something like that were a written enclosure -- who wants to listen to that every time you play the CD, or manually skip the track? Yes it's a good interview, but I was just disappointed.

It was a CD that I have been looking for. I had this on tape previously. It is a excellent cd.

Hi even though I,am 35,over the past 5 years I have come to be a huge fan of Petula Clark and her music,Just two days ago we saw her at the Hilton Hotel in AC and we went back stage and she was the nicest person you could ever want to meet,Buy this and any other music of Petulas,and listen to music that just does not age.

This album is a 2 disk set with 50 songs in all (It's a bargain!). The recordings on it (at lest the songs I already knew) are the original releases. Sound quality is quite good, contrary to what others have posted about other Petula's albums available here on CD. There are some songs in french, italian and german (about 2 of each). The orchestrations and arrangements are what you find in their original releases, very easy listening. If I had to choose among the assortment of CDs available here, this is the best choice.
