Consisting of songs performed on her short-lived BBC television series, The Sandie Shaw Supplement was a very mixed bag, reflecting the repertoire of the all-around entertainer that she was apparently trying to become. The renditions of pop standards are okay, and the covers of pop-rock hits like "Satsifaction," "Homeward Bound," and "Route 66" mediocre-to-embarrassing; there are also some tunes like "Change of Heart" that are reasonable continuations of her pure pop singles of the mid-'60s. It's a very uneven effort--selected tracks will be enjoyed by her fan club, but it will convert few new listeners to her cause. The CD reissue on RPM adds eight tracks from 1968-69 singles, mixing competent Chris Andrews-penned throwbacks to the vintage Shaw sound with some of her worst material (the vaudevillian "Show Me," an ill-conceived cover of "Those Were the Days"). But one of the singles, 1969's "Monsieur Dupont," would be her last big British hit. ~ Richie Unterberger
