Very Best of Sandie Shaw - CRIMSON by
Sandie Shaw!
Critic's Review
Greg Adams, All Music Guide
In the United States, Sandie Shaw is sometimes remembered as the "other" Petula Clark since she was one of relatively few female vocalists from Britain to crack the American charts in the '60s. In reality Shaw was not as great a vocalist (or commercial force) as Clark, but she created some appealing ear candy nonetheless. Her three U.S. hits, "(There's) Always Something there to Remind Me," "Girl Don't Come," and "Long Live Love" are included on this inexpensive 22 track import CD, alongside many other original Pye recordings from the '60s that were big hits across the pond. The one clunker is the annoying "Puppet on a String," which, despite having been an international hit, is understandably loathed by Shaw and many of her fans.
