From the Heart (Tom Jones album) explained

From the Heart is the third UK album by Tom Jones, released in 1966 on Decca Records. The LP is composed largely of pop standards. It was not released in North America, where Parrot Records recompiled many of its tracks into Jones' forth album there, Green, Green Grass of Home, featuring his hit single of the same name.

The front cover design, a photograph of Jones overlooking his hometown of Pontypridd, was taken on Graig Mountain, on the path above Graig Terrace that leads to Upper Alma Terrace in Treforest.
