Page 1 – A Collection of Her Most Famous Songs is a compilation album by Patti Page. It was released in October 1955 on Mercury Records. It was distributed as a vinyl LP.[1]

This was the first album in a series of four, titled "Page 1" to "Page 4". Billboard liked this one saying (inter alia): "Mercury has a good nostalgic album series idea, with Patti Page apparently destined to cut a group of albums dedicated to songs of various decades. “Page 1” spotlights the canary's warm show-wise vocal talents on tunes from the 1930s... Strong sales prospects for this one, and a potent ‘must’ for jocks."[2]
