As one reviewer has already stated this cd is more or less split between 'Beat/spectoresque' sounding early material and later big ballad/torch songs. In my opinion it's the early tracks that carry some truly stunning and spellbinding music (sure there are two or three truly awful tracks here 'Doctor in clover' being one of them). The truly great songs are 'Miracles' and its B side 'Thats right walk on by', 'With a kiss', 'There he goes', 'I'm going out' and an excellent version of Tammi Lyns' 'I'm gonna run away from you'. What ever type of sixties femme pop/girl sound you like you will find several tracks here that will suit your taste and they will also beg more questions than answers - Why wasn't this 16yr old girl a raving success? Give it a go and buy it now.

At last we finally have the early recordings from one of our most under-rated singers - Kiki Dee.
The previous reviewer said there was some clunkers on this cd well everyone has to start somewhere but like every other great artist Kiki matured and progressed with her music.
Listen to Kiki sing Excuse Me years before Shirley Bassey covered it and Kiki's version is the definitive one for me. Why Don't I Run Away From You has a brilliant stomping beat and just listen to How Glad I Am which Kiki re-recorded years later.
With Emi releasing Kiki's back catalogue from the Rocket Label and her Motown tracks on Universal's Spectrum label we now have almost all of Kiki's commercial recordings, Bear Family have released a few foreign language tracks on their cd compilations but hopefully RPM may do a further cd sometime and include those rarities.

Firstly, I have to confess to not being aware of Kiki Dee before the release of the single 'Amoureuse' in the '70s. I was also ignorant of the fact that she had a catalogue of recordings and experience prior to that landmark song until I came across 1000 nadelstiche, Vol.10 (UK Girls)where some three of her songs from the '60s appear in German. It was therefore with great interest that I awaited my copy of 'The Fontana Years 1963-1968'.
For me, this CD is pretty much divided into two sections. Although not presented in a strictly chronological order, the first 16 tracks include her earliest recordings, and, as one might expect for a newly signed and very young artist, there are some clunkers in there (sorry Kiki, I'm sure they made you do them). The second half of the disc is of most interest and enjoyment to me, covering the bulk of 1966-1968, when her voice had matured to be the unmistakeable one we know and love today and when her material and arrangements were superior. Listening to it once again begs the question : why wasn't she elevated to the same star status as others when she clearly had the talent ? Unfortunately this is a question that will never be definitively answered, where the whims of a certain time and the promotion of certain artists conspire to squeeze some others out. After all, Kiki performed at the 15th San Remo Festival alongside her compatriots Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark yet she had to wait 10 years for serious recognition.
The spine of this release carries the slogan : By Collectors For Collectors, and that sums up this compilation very well. It aims to be complete and for the completist, including some material that clearly isn't top notch. Sound quality is variable in the early years which, from what I can gather, is due to the original recordings and not the mastering for this disc.
Once again, RPM, a Cherry Red label, has brought together an important body of work that will more than satisfy the curious, the fan and the completists alike. With a very generous 32 tracks one could never feel cheated if not every single is brilliant or a hit - remember, this is a chronicle of all her recordings for Fontana. What is for certain, though, is that many of them should have been hits and will provide enjoyment for fans today, hopefully more than they did back in the '60s when they were released. If you like Kiki Dee's voice, buy this without hesitation. The liner notes and photographs are a bonus at this very attractive price.

The Beginning of a Great Artist: Kiki Dee
Kiki Dee ought to have been a star much earlier than 1973. These recordings are excellent and reflect the music of the era. Kiki Dee had the talent at a very early age. Read more

BESIDES DUSTY, CILLA, SANDIE AND LULU, THERE WAS KIKI DEE AS WELL, YOU...
It's excellent to finally get Kiki Dee's 1960s material on Fontana Records released on CD in one tidy bundle, in what stands as a well-presented package. Read more
