Dreamboats and Petticoats is a 2007 compilation album composed of songs from the 1950s and early 1960s. The compilation remained on the UK Top 40 Compilitation Chart for a total of 157 weeks. Its success led to a series of six similarly themed follow-up compilation albums being released. The series also includes a "Summer Holidays" album (which includes the Cliff Richard and the Shadows song after which it is named), a Christmas album, and a "Best of Del Shannon" album called Runaway.
