  • Description

    The Fleetwoods, with their gentle, oft-wistful signature harmonies, took the US charts by storm during 1959 with a pair of million-selling, US #1 records, 'Come Softly To Me' and 'Mr Blue'. They continued to register with follow-ups and by 1962 they'd clocked up sufficient chart entries to qualify for a "Greatest Hits" set, which would go on to become their biggest-selling album.

    Earlier in '62 they'd released another oldies package, the rather clumsily titled "The Fleetwoods Sing The Best Goodies Of The Oldies", a nonetheless splendid LP which was their tribute to the hit songs that they'd listened to as teenagers, back in the 50s.

    These two LPs, plus their 1962 singles, notably their huge hit 'Lovers By Night, Strangers By Day', are collated together on this collection.

    Several of these sides are impossible to find elsewhere on CD, making this a must-have release.
