This 22-track set covers the first commercial period of
Paul Anka
's recording career in the late '50s, and includes his
ABC Records
hits "Diana," "Puppy Love," and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," as well as his version of "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," a song
Anka
wrote for
Buddy Holly
, and several other period sides from
's pre-
RCA Records
era. There are a couple of omissions from the time period, most notably "Lonely Boy" and "It's Time to Cry," but the essential gist of this phase of
's career is well represented here. ~ Steve Leggett
