- The 5 CDs released in late 1997 from PolyGram (now Universal) which cover all of Petula's
albums when she was with Polydor. These 5 CDs cover from 1972 to 1975.

Since the middle 2000's there have been many Petula releases. Many songs that had been
kept in the vaults of various record labels since the 70's and 80's were finally
released onto CD format for our enjoyment. In more recent years Petula has gone into studios
in Paris, London, and Montreal to record new songs either in English or French. Her most
recent album was released in April of 2018, in French, and I think it is an album essential
to any Petula Clark record collector. Here is a listing of these releases which came out
after 2003 up to the present.

This is Petula's most recent album, released in April 2018. It's a French album, recorded in Montreal with an orchestra. The songs were all composed and written by Quebecois authors and composers. Most of the songs sound very modern and up-tempo. This album really sounds contemporary.
