Critic's Review
Greg Adams, All Music Guide
If you like Ann-Margret, this is a dream come true -- everything she recorded from 1961-65, including previously-unreleased material and soundtrack contributions, and a 12" by 12" hardcover book packed with color photos and notes. Like Pat Boone (who appears on two tracks) and Connie Francis, Ann-Margret was a versatile singer who tackled everything from show tunes and country classics to torch songs and teen novelties with equal charm, enthusiasm, and individuality. Her songs from Viva Las Vegas, Bye Bye Birdie, State Fair, and other films are here, in addition to her complete sessions with Al Hirt. Although this import box set is a major investment, the loving presentation will be worth it for serious fans.
