In the sleeve notes of this compilation celebrating English singer Alma Cogan — a leading figure in traditional pop in the 1950s and early 1960s — Paul McCartney, who had been a friend of Cogan in the early 1960s, wrote the following message:
When the Beatles first came to London, Alma was lovely to us… welcoming us with open arms. All my memories of that time are very special to me. Her high spirits made being with her great fun. I will always remember Alma and her sweet music with great fondness.
Paul McCartney
