I am one of those people who cannot understand why Cilla has squandered her talent appearing on Blind Date for nearly 20 years with the result that she is not generally remembered for her considerable and excellent singing talent which brought her such critical success in the 60s and 70s. However, I hope with the release of this and the double album "Cilla" and "Cilla sings a Rainbow", a wider audience will understand what us fans have missed over the last 20 years.
I have the original LP so I am eager to hear the tracks digitally re-mastered. Also the inclusion of some of the singles from the 70s is an added bonus as songs such as "He was a writer" is not included on any of Cilla's current CD releases, as far as I'm aware.
One small issue. I'm not sure why "Conversations" and "Surround yourself" were included as bonus tracks as these are well represented elsewhere on other greatest hits compilations. It would have been nice if this special edition could have included a few more of the more obscure singles for example "Easy in your Company" which I believe was the theme music to Cilla's T.V. comedy series in the 70s and dare I mention "Surprise Surprise" which was also released as a single. Still we can only live in hope that more of her back catalogue will be released to mark her 40th anniversary in show business next year. Particular favourite albums with me are "Junk" and "Day by Day" from the early 70s.
For those of you who do not know her work really well, then this will serve as an excellent introduction to why she was one of our best female singing artistes.

There's something about Cilla's persona that sadly has almost had her airbrushed out of the sixties legion of female artists. Dusty, Lulu and Pet Clark seem to have this iconic status when musical reviews take place. I am not disputing their rights to their status, although I think that if Lulu had not weathered so well in the looks department, her place up with the others would have struggled given the "Boom Bang etc" stage of her career.
However, because Cilla became such a familiar and successful face on mainstream TV entertainment during the late 70s onwards, people have in some cases forgotten where she came from originally.
A singer that had in all essence little more than a powerful but distinctive voice, Cilla made some great recordings that stamped the feel of the charts at the time. Although limited in her vocal abilities, unlike the supremely gifted Dusty, she made the most of what she had and nailed some absolute classics.
When I listen to tracks such as "Anyone", "My World" & "Alfie" they are heartbreakingly poignant songs. The performances are so sincere; they just rip your heart apart. Others such as "Step inside" and "Surround Yourself" are also tremendous but it is the wonderful "Conversations" that gets me every time.
This is an excellent collection that truly presents Cilla at her best. Just like Pet Clark's PYE Collection CD, it not only gives you what you want to hear in their original form, but they also give you the feel of Cilla at her peak.
Like a good coffee table book, this is a CD that you pick up now and again and fall in love with the material on offer, time & time again.
If you've forgotten what she contributed to pop music a few decades ago, buy this and listen once again. First and foremost she was a successful recording artist before she became Mrs Saturday Night TV

EMI continues with it's re-issue of Cilla's back catalogue - this time with the original 1968 'Best of Cilla'.
I know many fans will say not another compilation but this collection has the distinction of being an original album which charted in 1968.
The plus to this CD is that it includes tracks which have previously been un-issued on CD before including Stevie Wonders 'I Believe', the haunting 'I Wanted To Call It Off' and the cult 'He Was A Writer'.
If this is a preview of what we might expect from EMI next year when Cilla celebrates 40 years in show business, we will be in for more suprises.

The Best of Cilla Black
If you want to hear anything like the original recordings (like I did), this is not for you, so it was disappointing, but I guess Cilla fans would enjoy it anyhow.
