(Sequel - NEDCD264) Who can forget 'Blue Moon'- a song covered by everybody- which took doo-wop eccentricity to glorious new heights of madness in the early 60s?

This set includes all their hits and plenty of rarities, with two unissued tracks.

Petula Clark - Conversations In The Wind. CD. (Sequel - NEMCD459) Petula's great lost album from 1970 has never been issued in its complete form.
