Comment by inedit:

Excellent renditions by Petula Clark. I find the dramatic "Coming Back To You" (Colombier/Gimbel) one of the best songs of the album, arranged by French musician Michel Colombier. "I've Got To Know" (A. David) is an outstanding sad ballad in which the lyric talks about her lover being attracted by another woman - arrangements by Johney Arthey. Petula sings the melancholic "After You" (Trent/Hatch) living it and the song has nice instrumental arrangements. "City Lights" (Trent/Hatch) is another favorite along with the energyc and uptempo title track "Today" (Clark/Harris), arranged and written by the prestigious musician Johnny Harris, his wife Kim co-wrote it. The soulful "After The Hill" (Holding/Trent) is very catchy, like "Marie de Vere" (Trent/Hatch) set in the music hall style. "Spring In September" (Trent/Hatch) goes between a slow ballad rhythm and a happy soulful one making it an interesting selection. The Trent/Hatch ballad "Close To You" which Petula performs elegantly has beautiful backing vocals and nice orchestra arrangements by Tony Hatch in a moderate tempo. Two hits were included on the album, opening and closing it, probably to make it sell "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" and "This Is My Song". The latter has an introduction and single vocal on the version included on this CD. The bonus tracks are all outtakes from the "Pink" album sessions (recorded in january 1968) with producer Tony Hatch, except "Look To The Sky" which was recorded in Hollywood (backing track) and in London (vocal) in 1967. The three self-penned songs "Look To The Sky", "I’ve Got Love Going For Me" and "Every Time I See A Rainbow" were used as B-Sides in 1968 singles. Whereas "Take Good Care Of Your Heart" is the alternate version of another B-Side called "American Boys" (1968). "Love Will Find A Way" was left in the vaults and there's an interesting alternate version, with more orchestration, you can find on a 2010 collection by the label Reader's Digest.
