Very smart clean vinyl housed in a nice gloss cover

This brilliant but overlooked gem was Petula's first album after she left her old record labels - Warner in the USA and Pye in the UK. The set begins in brilliant fashion with The wedding song (There is love) which was later covered by Captain and Tennille.
Petula included several covers on this album, all of which are superb, including Solitaire (the Neil Sedaka song more commonly associated with the Carpenters and Andy Williams, who both had hits with it), Don't hide your love (Neil Sedaka), Shelter (Joe South), Baby I'm yours (Barbara Lewis) and My guy (Mary Wells).
Petula wrote one song herself - Song without end - and also included a song by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, despite having split from them.
While this is not one of the important albums of Petula's long and distinguished career, it is an excellent showcase for her talents and is a great addition to any collection of her music.
