Cilla Black “The Best Of Cilla Black” LP (1968)

Details: Used LP of the “Best of Cilla Black” released on Parlophone Records (UK), reissued in 1968. Stereo pressing. Liner notes on back by Tony Barrow, “Tony Barrow is known for his work on The 60s: The Beatles Decade (2006), The One and Only Cilla Black (2013) and The Sunday Programme (1994).” There is a long scuff mark across tracks 2-7 on Side B, but the record has been cleaned and plays through with little interference.

Description: “Male music makers from the Mersey Beatropolis have dominated the chart peaks for the last nine months but the hit parade has yet to welcome a Liverpool Beat Girl. Reason? Only the voice of Cilla Black has ever packed sufficient strength and rawness to earn the respect of the Cavern Club headliners like The Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers. At this time our Top Twenty needs a new female singing star. With a recording intensely exciting as “Love Of The Loved” the gap just has to be filled by the sizzling Cilla Black.” - Tony Barrow (1968)
