Description
.This deluxe double CD set is the fourth release in a brand new series which re-issues the legendary Cilla Black's original albums. In this package, Cilla's all-time favourite of all her albums "SHER-OO!", from 1968, is paired with her 1978 disco fuelled pop album and Cilla Black fans' favourite "MODERN PRISCILLA", which is released for the very first time on CD. Both albums contain a wealth of bonus tracks; in fact, there are 21 bonus tracks in total across the package. This release, along with all the others in this Cilla Original Album Series is endorsed by its Executive Producer, Cilla's son Robert Willis and comes with a 32 page booklet including extracts from a 2009 interview with Cilla, introductory essays about both albums and contemporaneous photographs from both the record company archives and the Cilla Black Estate. .Disc One contains "Sher-oo!" and Cilla was immensely proud of this, her third studio album. She adored making it and considered it to be her all-time favourite long play!.It was whilst on holiday during the recording sessions for "Sher-oo!" that Cilla received the career defining news that manager and friend Brian Epstein had both got her her own series on BBC Television but that also he had died from an accidental overdose. Epstein had adored Cilla and was instrumental in changing her life by launching her career to the dizzy heights of superstardom and British icon..Completing the sessions for the album, Cilla very much considered 'Sher-oo!' to be her tribute to Brian. The final recording which needed to be reworked was 'Step Inside Love'. This was the signature tune for Cilla's new BBC TV series and her album's lead single as was written for Cilla especially by her friends Paul McCartney and John Lennon. .1968 was overall an extremely successful year for Cilla with her new BBC TV shows regularly commanding audiences of 22 million and both her lead single 'Step Inside Love' and new album 'Sher-oo!' becoming 'Top 10' hits on the British charts!.This re-release of "Sher-oo!
