Cliff Richard

• EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES

• 180 gram VINYL — AUDIOPHILE PRESSING

• INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS

This essential edition contains Cliff Richard’s celebrated self-titled debut LP, "Cliff", which was originally issued by Columbia Records in April 1959 (it reached #4 on the UK Album Chart), and has been long unavailable on vinyl. The set was recorded live at Abbey Road studios in front of an invited audience of his fast growing admirers.

In addition to the original album, this limited collector’s edition includes 2 bonus tracks from the same period: “Dynamite” and Carl Perkins’ “Pointed Toe Shoes.” This is some of the best material of Cliff Richard’s discography – primal British beat from the man who all but invented it.
