Fourteen year-old HELEN SHAPIRO was a natural live performer, blessed with a phenomenal voice. She took the UK by storm in 1961, topping the charts with two of her first three releases, ‘You Don’t Know’ and ‘Walkin’ Back To Happiness’. Helen quickly established herself as a major international star, and global sales of her early 45s each topped a million. This compilation is drawn from EPs issued in the UK, France and Sweden in 1961 and ’62, and features sides from a couple of dedicated EPs alongside selected hits and LP cuts. Included herein are French language versions of two of her hits, plus their B-sides, from an unfeasibly rare French EP: ‘Tout Ce Qu’il Voudra’ (‘Tell Me What He Said’), ‘J’ai Tant De Remords’ (‘I Apologise’), ‘Parlons D’Amour’ (‘Let’s Talk About Love’) and ‘Sans Penser à Rien’ (‘Sometime Yesterday’).
