Andy Williams' Best
[4] This second album to compile the singer's material features 10 songs that made the Billboard Hot 100 along with two of their corresponding B-sides.The album made its first appearance on the Billboard Top LP's chart in the issue dated April 7, 1962, and remained there for 44 weeks, peaking at number 59.[5] it also debuted on the Cashbox albums chart in the issue dated April 7, 1962, and spent an only week on the charts, peaking at 49[6] In 1965 Columbia Records released a compilation by Williams called Canadian Sunset whose cover had the phrase "formerly titled Andy Williams' Best" underneath the title, but his number one hit "Butterfly" and its top 10 follow-up "I Like Your Kind of Love" that were included on this album were replaced on the Columbia release with the B-sides of two of the other songs here.[7] Andy Williams' Best was issued on compact disc as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on September 12, 2000, along with Williams's 1960 Cadence album, Under Paris Skies.Cadence head Archie Bleyer carefully developed and expanded Williams' musical posture during the period, but the singles, mixed up as they are here, make that plan seem stylistically scattershot.
