Cliff Richard / Original Album Series
Parlophone will issue a Cliff Richard Original Albums Series collection next month, which spotlights the early albums of the enduring pop singer.
This five-CD set features Cliff’s first five albums, including two (debut Cliff and third album Me And My Shadow) which featured the exclusive backing of The Shadows. The albums in this set are as follows:
- • Cliff (1959)
- • Cliff Sings (1959)
- • Me And My Shadow (1960)
- • Listen to Cliff (1961)
- • 21 Today (1961)
Despite later success (notably in the early 1980s) Cliff never bettered this chart run, chalking up a number one (21 Today, whose first track is Happy Birthday!), three number twos and a number four album.
You’ll find none of Cliff’s singles on these records, including UK number ones Living Doll, and Travellin’ Light, because it simply wasn’t the done thing to put your singles on an album. Having said that, Move It does appear on 1959’s Cliff, which is a live album recorded at Abbey Road. Hence it’s not the same as the single version issued in 1958.
This Cliff Richard Original Album Series is issued on 17 June. If Cliff isn’t your thing, other collections are being released on the same day, including Alice Cooper and The Dogs D’Amour.
