The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener is the ninth album released by Petula Clark in the United States. It entered the Billboard 200 on February 17, 1968 and remained on the charts for 23 weeks, peaking at #93. ^[2] It fared better in the United Kingdom, where it reached #37. ^[3]

Recorded for the most part in September 1967 with the Wrecking Crew at the Los Angeles United Western Recorders, Produced by Sonny Burke and arranged by Ernie Freeman, the album marked Clark's ongoing transition away from Tony Hatch, who had been responsible for most of her earlier material. Here he contributed only the title track, co-written with Jackie Trent. This is also the only album containing a song in French language, L'île de France, where Clark was very successful at the same time.
