Petula Clark

Here's Pet at the very start of her singing career....songs from Films she made with the Huggets

I believe are the first few tracks, so they are not too good sound wise...but enjoyable if your a fan of Petula Clark !!

 This anthology of her complete early singles is a detailed analysis of her Polygon recordings made between 1949 and 1955, which were also released on Esquire in Australia and Melodi in Denmark. By 1956 she would be recording for Nixa, and this would lead to her Pye, Vogue, and Warner Brothers recordings of the late '50s and early to middle '60s. Petula Clark was a ubiquitous teenaged movie star during the 1940s and early '50s, sometimes working with young Julie Andrews. Indeed, on some of these records Petula sounds a lot like Julie, or (dare one say it?) Mary Poppins. That's because the material is predominately light, happy-go-lucky innocent pop.

On this first post of 28 tracks which cover all of her original Polygon 78s lovingly re-mastered for the first time in one collection. In addition there are rare sides from Columbia and Decca, as well as rare overseas releases. From child star to her heyday and still performing today, six decades later! Petula Clark is a true icon of the music business.
