Lulu - Oh Me Oh My - The Singles 1964-75



Here's a comp I put together that finally tells Lulu's story in a satisfying way. Over the eleven years covered here, she was on something like five labels, making a complete career retrospective problematic. Often when I'm putting these together, I really don't know if it'll really work until it's done. This comp really did the trick (for me, at least): it shows her range and puts everything she did in context, without dragging. Please check it out - I think you'll reassess Lulu as I did. All @ 320 and runs a bit over three hours. Let me know what you think!

  9. Really a great collection! Thanks. The only single I was not able to trace on her discography is the one that would be formed by Don't Let Me Down/Feelin' Alright. I really have no clue and as I have split your fantastic collection into the original singles folders and added the covers for good measure, I am remaining with those two tracks spare. Can you give me some indications please?
    Thanks in advance.
