British singer Louise Cordet got a U.K. Top Twenty hit in 1962 as a teenager with her first single, “I’m Just a Baby,” but never made the hit parade again despite issuing a couple dozen tracks between 1962 and 1964. This exemplary compilation has all of them, including her six singles, a 1963 British EP, a couple songs from the 1963 Just for Fun soundtrack, and nine tracks (all but one sung in French) released only in France.

One of the most engaging pop acts of the mid-’60s, The Playboys benefited from strong songwriting (Al Kooper cowrote “This Diamond Ring”) and studio personnel (courtesy of Leon Russell).
