Beautiful Dreams - Ember Sixties Pop Volume 5

Beautiful Dreams compiles the releases of three fine girl singers for the label in that era: Twiggy, Linday Thorson and Julie Rogers. The ever publicity-conscious Ember boss Jeffrey Kruger saw the opportunity to promote the world's first fashion supermodel Twiggy as a singer and signed her to the label in 1966. Her two singles were written and produced by Tommy Scott, who had overseen Twinkle's hits "Terry" and "Golden Lights". The 45s didn't catch on in the UK, but she did have a huge hit in Japan which resulted in Twiggy appearing at the Budokan Hall in Tokyo, not singing her songs but parading the latest fashions while a local group played Beatles covers as accompaniment.
