Description
Marketed as the UK's version of Ricky Nelson, Craig Douglas was hugely popular in the pre-Beatles era. He had far more hits than people usually remember, clocking up thirteen UK chart entries between 1959-62.
Craig was still only 18 when he topped the charts in the summer of 1959 with his jaunty cover of Sam Cooke's 'Only Sixteen'.
This set includes that and all his other UK hits, notably 'Come Softly To Me', 'Teenager In Love', 'Pretty Blue Eyes', 'Heart Of A Teenage Girl', 'A Hundred Pounds Of Clay', 'Time', 'When My Little Girl Is Smiling', 'Our Favourite Melodies', 'Oh Lonesome Me', etc.
Also included are a handful of songs from films in which he appeared, that weren't issued the first time around.
Several of these sides are impossible to find elsewhere on CD.
Craig recorded for four different record companies between 1958-62; this is the first time his releases from all four labels have been compiled together on one package, making it a must-purchase for his fans.
