One of the challenges with Cliff Richard's enormous output is that it is difficult to define him as a performer. For example, is he a rock-and-roller; is he a middle-of-the-road pop singer; is he a Christian artist? This collection shows off Richard's talent and the wide range of his work, especially his early work. Some of the pop songs and ballads seem a bit sappy, especially in light of some of the other material he recorded, and you'll be amazed that so many songs in one collection of a non-Brazilian singer can contain references to "bossa nova." That, in and of itself, dates the material, more than the work of some of Richard's contemporaries. But, Oh Boy! did he have a wide stylistic range!

I love every song on this double-CD. A lot of the songs bring back some wonderful childhood memories. I like it so much I bought one for myself and another one for by brother as a gift. I've enjoyed it and continue to enjoy it. I know you will, too.

This 2 disc compilation is so nice to have. Even though it is still missing some of his songs that I fancied during the 60's, I would still recommend it to Cliff Richard fans, or even not exactly his fans but good music lovers. I did not appreciate his pronunciations on some of the words in his Spanish songs, but 'shucks', he is not Spanish anyway, what would you expect ? Still his voice is soothing and relaxing but could turn into energetic and lively when the song calls for it. I have been searching for his albums from the stores ever since I came here to America, ten years ago, but glad I finally found it at [...].

Brings you back to the early 1960's before the Beatles. The CD covers most of his career hits from that early time to the most recent years. I like it.

It would have been nice to have included in this 2 disc set
that says "Complete hits" more of the 19 songs that Cliff Richard's had chart.
Yet only 5 of the 19 are here among these 55 tracks.

All five hits are within his first ten charted songs -
So here's the list to know whats here.

1. Here -- "Living doll" -- 1959.
2. Here -- "Lucky lips" -- 1963.
3. Here -- "Its all in the game" -- 1963.
4. Skipped -- "I'm the lonely one" -- 1964.
5. Here -- "Bachelor boy" -- 1964
6. Skipped -- "Congratulations" -- 1968.
7. Skipped -- "Devil womam" -- 1976".
8. Skipped -- "I can't ask for any more than you" -- 1976.
9. Skipped -- "Don't turn the light out" -- 1977.
10. Here -- "Don't talk anymore" -- 1979.
That's where the hits stop on this collection.

Footnote: Between 1980 & 1983 Richards had 9 more songs chart.
5 were top 40 hits that didn't find there way to this set either.

This 60s music is o.k. if you just want more music to listen to,
but don't expect this to be your greatest hits for Cliff Richard.
You'd be disappointed.

I bought this just to have the song "The Young Ones" which I personally remember and consider it one of the best songs of the 1960's. I wasn't familiar with the other work by Cliff Richards, he wasn't played much here in the USA but all the other songs are good. They don't have the same impact as a song that you remember but they are all good music. If you are familiar with his early music, this is the one for you. If not, give it a listen.

At first I was hesitate to buy this because it says made in Thailand. Anyway I bought it and it sounds so good we play it everyday. Even my 7 year old granddaughter loves it. But there is a correction I want you to know, it is not made in Thailand, it is made in the Philippines that is why it sounds so good.
Inside cover has a note from Cliff Richard giving thanks to his fans from the Philippines for comfiling all those songs.

I had the "album" with most of the early songs that are on this cd, but it has been misplaced through the years. When I discovered this CD I wasted no time ordering it. I have not been disappointed - the early hits bring back old memories and the new music is terrific also. I would say out of all the songs there might be 4 that I don't enjoy as much.

it was short, but it had all the personal info. needed to know about Cliff Richard in the begining it was great, well anything with Cliff.or about Cliff or seeing Ciff is wonderfull in my Book. Hes my hero and always will be. ty for having all his CDs and DVDs for me to get. ty ty ty
