Connie Francis version
[edit]Background
[edit]
By 1967, Francis only scored minor hits, and the main chart she had success with was the Adult Contemporary chart.[4] The new single followed a period of declining chart performance for Francis,[5] but unlike previous singles, completely missed the aforementioned AC chart, (then called the Easy Listening chart).[4] "Another Page" was the first of five singles that she released that year. It was produced by Charles Koppelman, Don Rubin, and by Pete Spargo on the B-side[6] and two years later featured on her 1969 album, The Wedding Cake.[7] The single was recorded in a session in late December 1966, along with the song "You Know You're Not Forsaken", which appeared in the same album as "Another Page", but didn't see a single release.[8]

"Another Page" was released as a seven-inch single in January 1967 by MGM Records.[6] It was backed by an Italian song written by Carl Sigman, Scarnicci Tarabusi and L. Luttazzi,[2] "Souvenir d'Italie" on the B-side,[6] which was lifted from her album Love, Italian Style, released at the same time as the single, but recorded in October 1966. The single was advertised as "another hit".[9][3]
The single received a positive reception upon its release. Record World put the single in its "Four Stars" singles section, calling the single "Pop-rock-folk", and asked, "do we hear a trace of country?" The magazine concluded with "Another strong side from Miss Francis."[1] Cashbox reviewed the single in the middle of January and stated that it was a "...highly spirited, driving romp" that "could easily do it again for the lark." The magazine said to "Watch this folk-flavored ode closely." Cashbox also noted that the "Lush, shuffling, Mediterranean-oriented romancer", "Souvenir D’ltalie," could also "be a big one."[2]
Chart performance
[edit]In early 1967, the track bubbled under the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 21.[10] On other American music magazines, the single was ranked higher, breaking into and peaking at number 98 on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles[11] and reaching number 3 on the Record World Up-Coming Singles chart.[12]
