Product Description

cillablack Web Site, July 2002

A super collection combining what are undoubtedly Cilla's BEST singles with rare bonus songs -- a definite must for any fan of classic Brit-Pop music.


Q magazine, January 2003

3/5 rating (Good): "..George Martin's imaginative production uses her deeply powerful voice to great effect across this career-spanning compilation."

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great release from Cilla's back catalogue, 1 Aug 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Old Black Magic At It's Best!!, 7 Aug 2002
By Neal Dzik "SeattleRio" (Seattle, Wa USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cilla Black really is an amazing singer!!!, 24 Nov 2007
By Jake M "terbo08" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Long before Cilla Black became the queen of Saturday night TV with legendary shows such as "Blind Date" and "Surprise Surprise", she was a pop star with many hit singles, albums and EPs to her name. Her voice is pure magic, jet black and just amazing, it's no wonder then that many of her songs shot up into the top ten in the UK from 1963 to 1974. She even had a couple of no.1 hits, the incrediable "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and "You're My World".
This great, super value compilation album is a re-issue of Cilla's top 30 greatest hits LP from 1968 with 11 great bonus tracks added. All her main hits are here and the bonus songs are a must!, my favorites being the beautiful "He Was A Writer", "I Believe" and "It's Now".
All in all, this is one great album and living proof that Cilla is every inch one the UK's most incrediable singers, do yourself a favour and pick up your copy of "The Best Of Cilla" today!
