RICHARD, CLIFF - Cliff Sings / Me And My Shadows (Sealed) (2LP)

In the late fifties the U.S. had Elvis, Buddy Holly and Little Richard: they had Rock 'n' Roll! Cliff Richard was the U.K.'s answer to these U.S. rock idols. Presented here are the British singer's second and third albums, accompanied on both by his frequent backing band the Shadows, along with some of his biggest hit singles and other bonus tracks. These top-selling albums and singles helped launch Cliff Richard into the pop stratosphere. Richard's career has proven to have remarkable staying power, with over 14 no.1 hit U.K. singles, sales of over 250 million records worldwide, and 21 million singles in the U.K., to his credit. He is the third-top-selling artist in U.K. singles chart history, behind only the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
