This Japanese collection features mostly early Cliff Richard hits, beginning with his first, "Move It," which was released in 1958, through his so-called comeback years in the late 1970s, including his only U.S. hit, 1976's "Devil Woman."

Compilation. Limited edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve.

Présent dans les hit-parades britanniques depuis six décennies, Cliff Richard est une institution du rock anglais. Né Harry Rodger Webb à Lucknow, en Inde, le 14 octobre 1940, il fait ses débuts dans le rock'n'roll seize ans plus tard avec son premier groupe The Drifters, qui devient The Shadows et collectionne les succès : « Move It », « Livin' Doll », « Bachelor Boy », entre autres. Après un passage en solo, l'idole des jeunes se convertit au christianisme en 1964 et poursuit une carrière multiple de chanteur, acteur et animateur de télévision extrêmement populaire au Royaume-Uni. Doyen du rock britannique en activité depuis 1958, Cliff Richard a logé quatorze chansons au sommet des classements de ventes, dont « We Don't Talk Anymore » (1979) et « Millenium Prayer » (1999). Il continue d'enregistrer des albums entre pop, rock et chansons de Noël. Anobli par la reine Elizabeth II en 2009, Sir Cliff Richard retrouve son groupe historique, The Shadows, pour l'album Reunited. Puis, après un album de blue-eyed soul, Soulicious (2011), le septuagénaire consacre deux volumes au rock'n'roll de sa jeunesse, The Fabulous Rock'N'Roll Songbook (2013) et Just…Fabulous Rock'N'Roll (2016). Ce dernier, son centième album, est suivi deux ans plus tard par Rise Up et en 2020 par Music… The Air That I Breathe, qui rassemble des duos avec Bonnie Tyler, Albert Hammond, The Bellamy Brothers, Sheila Walsh et The Piano Guys.

In October 1967, Cliff Richard and the Norrie Paramor Orchestra embarked upon a fabulously successful Japanese tour, climaxing with a solidly sold-out appearance at the Shibuya Public Hall in Tokyo, recorded for both domestic and international release the following year. It's a magnificent performance, spinning through highlights of Richard's entire career, all the way back to "Move It" and "Dynamite," but eschewing the easy route of simply piling hits upon hits, by concentrating as much on rocking covers as on the expected hits – "What'd I Say," "Shout," and "Twist and Shout" make it onto the album; left on the cutting room floor are equally powerful takes on "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy."

At the start of his career, Cliff Richard was an out and out Rock & Roller, as these early recordings confirm, and indeed his first disc, 'Move It', is universally acknowledged as the UK's finest ever Rock & Roll record. This superb compilation features Cliff's first six singles, his first two LPs, his first two EPs, rarities recorded for the legendary TV show 'Oh Boy!' (which are also available on Jasmine CD (JASCD523) and a handful of sides by his renowned backing group, The Drifters/Shadows. Included are his first UK No 1s "Living Doll" and "Travelling Light", both of which were also million sellers. Full and in-depth sleeve notes across an 8 page booklet including recording dates make this a great collectors piece!

54 tracks, 3 CD nostalgic collection to bring back fond memories from the golden decade of the seventies. Features Manhattan Transfer, Leo Sayer, Donna Summer, ELO, Kiki Dee, 10CC, Cliff Richard, Minnie Riperton, Andrew Gold, Demis Roussos, Boz Scaggs, Eric Carmen, Crystal Gayle, Sally Oldfield, Tina Charles, David Soul, Art Garfunkel & many more.

Cliff Richard Voormalig Brits tieneridool, die gezegend lijkt met de <br>eeuwige jeugd. De in Lucknow, India geboren Richard neemt zijn eerste single, Move It, op in '58. <br>Het Engelse tienerpubliek hunkert op dat moment naar een nieuwe Elvis Presley. De populairste <br>Engelse rockers in die tijd in Engeland, Terry Dene en Tommy Steele, mogen dan wel aardige <br>jongens zijn (Steele is zelfs een echte komediant), ze beschikken bij lange na niet over de <br>persoonlijkheid die Presley heeft. Cliff heeft 'het' echter wel; althans tv-producer Jack Good weet <br>Richard na diens eerste hit in zijn beroemde tv-show Oh Boy zodanig te presenteren dat iedereen <br>denkt dat Cliff 'het' heeft. Na enkele echte r&amp;r-singles, zoals High Class Baby, neemt <br>Richard in '59 met zijn begeleiders The Drifters, later omgedoopt in The Shadows de <br>mediumrocker Living Doll op, zijn eerste nummer 1-hit.

Sir Cliff Richard is an English singer, musician, actor, and philanthropist who holds both British and Barbadian citizenship. He has sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has total sales of over 21.5 million singles in the United Kingdom and is the third-top-selling artist in UK Singles Chart history, behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley. Richard was originally marketed as a rebellious rock and roll singer in the style of Presley and Little Richard. With his backing group, the Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s to early 1960s.

Digitally remastered reissue of this 1993 album from the British guitarist and Shadows member. Heartbeat features guest appearances from Cliff Richard, who sings on four tracks, and Dire Straits main man Mark Knopfler. This album features Hank playing some classic tunes including 'Heartbeat', 'Mrs. Robinson', 'Wonderful Land', 'Oxygene', 'Take Five' and 'Live And Let Die' amongst others.

Such an unimaginative title for such a imaginative boxful. Across four discs and 105 songs, Cliff Richard's earliest catalog comes in for precisely the kind of treatment every rock & roll star should have: an all-encompassing study of his most important period. Even more impressively, though the song titles all sound familiar, the performances rarely are. Thirty-seven tracks are bona fide unreleased (South African 78s notwithstanding), but several dozen more are culled from scarce EP-only mixes, rarely resurfacing B-sides, and unusual mixes.

Cliff Live at the Talk of the Town is one of the stranger live albums that anyone is likely to hear from a world-class performer, affording Cliff Richard the chance to sing in a relatively small-scale club setting. Dating from 1970 and produced by Norrie Paramor (who also conducts the orchestra), the record was – typically for Richard's work of this era – never released in the United States, but it was apparently reasonably successful in England, where it was released on the mid-priced Starline imprint.

Two CD set. Both as 'solo' artists/bands and collaboratively, Cliff Richard and The Shadows have amassed more than 100 charting singles between them, as well as album sales upwards of ¼ Billion. Together they dominated the British popular music scene in the late '50s and early '60s with record-breaking careers that established their undisputed place in pop history. Between them they notched up 19 No.1 hits that included "Living Doll," "Travellin' Light," "Please Don't Tease," "Bachelor Boy," "Wonderful Land" and "Apache." In 2009, Cliff, together with Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett took to the stage again for their final tour - The Final Reunion - to celebrate their 50th anniversary, with an audience of more than 15,000. Released for the first time on CD, this 42-track set was recorded live at The O2 Arena in London.

With his backing group, the Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the pre-Beatles period of the late 1950s to early 1960s. His 1958 hit single "Move It" is often described as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song; John Lennon once said that "before Cliff and the Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music".

I'm Nearly Famous is the album which marked Cliff Richard's return from the commercial and, in many ways, creative void which had consumed him since the end of the 1960s. Recorded with former Shadow Brian Bennett in the production chair and boasting the most consistently excellent clutch of songs and performances Richard had mustered in over a decade, the album was previewed by the lovely "Miss You Night," opened with the neo-disco "I Can't Ask for Anything More," and peaked with "Devil Woman," a rocker which became his first ever U.S. Top Ten hit. But they were simply the best-known standouts.
