 complete? don't think so! September 28, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
can scarcely believe that with so many tracks 2 of my favourites are not there : I'm looking out the window ( isn't no 2 a big enough hit?), and Ocean Deep ( a regular fans favourite ). I could go on, but those 2 struck me immediately. I will save my 100!The 78 is a gimmick too....
 Several Creams of the crop..Fantastic collection September 21, 2008
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This kind of compilation is probably 20-25 years long overdue considering the amount of material Cliff Richard has recorded especially the rarer stuff. In the middle age of CD before downloads were even thinkable, Cliff's peers like Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers rare material have been available for many many years already. However EMI have finally succumb to the requests of fans around the world of this fitting tribute to a 50th anniversary rare material CD Box Set. Well done EMI!
CD 1 Title 'The Early Years' has relative music from Cliff's early Rock n' roll years. There's a first time Stereo release of the single version b-side called 'Willie and the hand jive' and also two 'stereo versions' alternate takes on 'Fall in love with you' and 'Dynamite'. Interesting hearing them in stereo sound. Don't think these tracks have ever been release around the world in this format. Personally I found the CD Sound quality 10/10
CD2 Title 'Rare B-Sides' is one of the cream of the crops in this box-set.
All the tracks are in stereo except 'Say You're Mine' 'True True Lovin' 'Just Another Guy' and 'Occasional Rain' which is ashame really because 'Just Another Guy' has been released in stereo on overseas compilations. 'Time Flies' and 'Annabella Umbrella' were b-side tracks to 'Silvery Rain' from 1971. 'Pigeon' my all time favourite B-side appears in Stereo for the first time ever on this CD!. 'Pigeon' was the b-side to 'Flying Machine', a fab 'feel good' upbeat 1971 track. Remastered CD sound quality on these 2008 tracks are excellent 10/10
CD 3 Title `Rare EP Tracks'. Again some first time stereo releases. And some notably Disney tracks that were intended for release back in 1965. Sound quality on this 2008 remasters is 10/10
CD 4 Title `Stage and Screen'.
Typical tracks from Cliff's movies and stage appearances, however the CD sound quality is from the mid 90s/early 2000s remasters which sound electronically synthesized and echoer. Shame really because compare to the 2008 remasters for the B-sides CD you can note the quality of the sound. I give this CD sound quality 5/10
CD 5 Title `The Hits , the number 1s around the world'. Where is `Flying Machine' `Early in the morning'?. These Hit songs were number 1s around the world!
Tracks 1-15 are again mid 90s/early 2000s remasters and are in mono!!! Why! Tracks 4-15 including `The next time' `constantly' 'Summer holiday'... were recorded in stereo. These tracks sound like cleaned up mono 7" vinyl synthesized pseudo stereo quality. I rate the sound quality 3/10
CD 6 Title 'Faith and Inspiration' A great selection of songs, with some classic standouts. Sound quality I found to be 10/10
CD 7 Title `Live in Japan 72'. This 1972 recording is totally flawless. Personally for me this is the ultimate live recording Cliff has made. The songs just keep on coming. Features Olivia Newton-John throughout on one of the backing vocals. It was then released in the Far East only and selected tracks on a budget LP in the UK in the mid-70s. This 2008 remasters CD sound quality is just breathtakingly brilliant!
10/10
CD 8 Title `Lost and found from the archives'. This is interesting music that could have made it on album tracks or b-sides. Some song titles were used in his early 1970s TV shows which Cliff also made studio recordings which appear on this CD. Personally I found `Run for shelter' and `Song of yesterday' are great standouts from this CD 8. Again this 2008 remasters CD sound quality is 10/10
Interesting each CD track in this box set have been diligently selected particularly the b-sides that have not appeared on CD before. Those that have, are not included.
Bearing in mind this is a high cost product, I thought this being 2008 the general public/fans don't have an 78rpm player, but a CD/DVD player nowadays: the 10" vinyl serves as only ornamental or for the collector as well as the gold coin; EMI should have been more practical in the sense of this high cost product to have included a compilation DVD instead, where the buying public could make use of their products. I would have preferred a compilation DVD like an updated version of `The Hit List' instead of a 10" vinyl and coin.
The 12" book that completes this box set is lavishley superb! Well illustrated year by year account with a photographic discography. And tons of wonderful FULL COLOUR pictures throughout.
A CLIFF CELEBRATION September 21, 2008

EMI have done Cliff proud with this new boxed set.
Although I have a huge collection of Cliff's records there are some songs that are new to me.
A 10" replica of Cliff's first single is also inlcuded as is a gold plated commerorative coin.
What's interesting to note is how varied Cliff's material is, from standards to gospel to rock 'n roll. I still have a great fondness for his early hits but Cliff has progressed over the years to the wonderful entertainer he is today, he's done movies, theatre musicals, concerts etc; he's a living legend.
Happy Anniversary Cliff!

This is a must have. It's great that EMI have finally woken up to Cliff fans. The rare 'b' sides and the EP CD are highlights. Many being available in Stereo for the first time, and the remastered sound is a revelation. I would highly reccomend this to any fan.
