Teaming up with songwriter Tony Hatch reignited the career of Petula Clark. Their partnership is displayed to good effect on I Know A Place. The title track was a US No. 3 and UK No. 17 hit single. Known as The New Petula Clark Album in the UK. (US:42)
“This amazing album absolutely knocked everyone over the head when it first appeared. It was recorded very quickly but you'd think Pet and Tony Hatch had worked on it a year. The material is incredibly diverse; the orchestrations are as rich and intriguing as you'll ever hear; and Petula Clark is strictly magnificent. This album remains a propulsive, engaging, hypnotic musical voyage, from start to finish.”
“The Pet sound was unique. It had a pure, very light, airy quality combined with an elegant and rich sound which no other female singer has ever surpassed. She had perhaps better control of her voice than any female pop singer.”
“An extremely infectious album. Every song a gem, Petula makes each song her own. This has always been my favourite album. It's too great to pass up.”
“Marvel at the studio mastery of Tony Hatch's astonishingly lush and layered arrangements. An amazing collection of songs, without a clunker in the whole bunch. Clark was in perfect voice and in perfect synch with the material. From Motown to Gershwin, she and her powerful voice make it all rock to a deep and heavy relentless beat and a veritable wall of sound.”
“A great listening LP. Good mix of original material and well chosen covers of current songs of the period.”
“A powerful package of songs. Not a bad one in the bunch. Buy it, you won't regret it.”
“Hatch wrote several decent tunes for the album, with the title song being the best of the bunch, but Call Me is also pretty good, as are a couple of songs co-written with Clark, Heart and You're The One. Petula Clark at the peak of her hit making ability."
