Description
The Allisons were very nearly the UK's first Eurovision Song Contest winners in 1961, with the self-penned "Are You Sure" (they came second, to Luxembourg). This compilation features everything that the duo recorded for Fontana Records during 1961-62 - six singles and an LP, their entire recorded legacy.
Despite not winning the song nonetheless topped the UK charts and went on to become a huge worldwide hit, selling a couple of million copies. They subsequently charted with "Words" and "Lessons in Love", while "What a Mess" and "I'll Cross My Fingers" were popular radio/turntable hits.
Apart from the celebrated title track, the bulk of the material on this album is exceptionally rare and this marks the first time that many of these sides have ever appeared on CD, notably the stereo version of the LP, which has never previously been reissued in any format.
Included as a bonus track is their memorable live performance of "Are You Sure", at the 1961 Eurovision.
