For fans of sweeping vocal jazz and sophisticated orchestral pop, this 1976 retrospective captures the iconic Welsh songbird delivering a masterclass in romance and melancholy. Issued by United Artists Records, the album serves as a beautifully curated compilation of contemporary love songs, popular ballads, and show-stopping theatrical themes. Backed by magnificent instrumentation, her unmistakable voice breathes fresh emotion into 1970s standards like "Killing Me Softly With His Song", "Feelings", and "Jesse", alongside dramatic stage and screen pieces such as "Send In The Clowns" and "What I Did For Love".

This item is a collectable original UK first pressing, identifiable by the authentic tan and brown United Artists paper labels. Collectors will immediately spot the highly desirable first-state manufacturing details stamped into the dead wax, featuring the classic A-1U and B-1U matrix terminations. This confirms the record originates from the very first production run off the British pressing plant presses, offering optimal analogue sound quality.

The condition of this vintage second-hand copy has been thoroughly checked to provide complete peace of mind. The outer picture sleeve achieves a respectable Very Good grade; the jacket is clean, showing a small area of localised shelf wear along the centre of the upper edge. Matching its used status, the vinyl disc itself earns a top-tier Excellent grade. The groove surfaces are wonderfully bright and free from unsightly blemishes, promising a remarkably clean, crisp audio playback with minimal background noise.
