Album information
It was released in 1966 and reached #34 on the Billboard album charts.

The song "But You're Mine" was the first single released from the album, and it peaked at #15 in US and #17 in UK, becoming a big hit. The next single did slightly better, it was a cover of "What Now My Love" and it reached #14 in US and #13 in UK, becoming the only version of that song to reach the top twenty on both sides of the Atlantic.

The album is largely a collection of cover songs including "Summer Time" (originally by George Gershwin) and "Set Me Free" (originally by The Kinks). In 1999 the album was re-released and contained three bonus tracks, "The Revolution Kind", "Have I Stayed Too Long" and "Crying Time".
