not my album cover, but I cannot find mine on the three sites I go looking for the cover art work....
I had no idea she had as many different #1 hits as she did until I checked Wikipedia....
she started her recording career in 1949 as a sixteen year old, in 1954 she scored her first #1,strangely enough that
hit was in Australiawith "the little shoemaker"(which incidently isn't on this disc), as is the same with a few of these hits
not being on it neither,so this isn't a worldwide compilation,its obviously an English release of her UK hits....
this is a pretty good collection of predominantly 1960s hits, although I notice she is still recording and released a single in the UK as late as 2013...
her last top 10 hit in the UK was a re-recording of "downtown" in 1988 which peaked at #10, in Ireland she hit the #2 position on the singles charts
with another re-recording of "downtown" in 2011....
anyway, I thought this album would have fared a bit better than the score it comes out with, but either way, its still a reasonably good score IMO
