In 1963 the legendary manager Brian Epstein said “she’s going to be the biggest star in this country for thirty or forty years.” Forty-five years later and Cilla Black has surpassed even Epstein’s prophecy and to celebrate this momentous occasion EMI Records, the label which signed Cilla in 1963, has released everything Cilla recorded for them from 1963 to 2003.

Her first three albums ‘Cilla’, ‘Cilla Sings A Rainbow’ and ‘Sher-oo!’ were all top ten UK best sellers and these albums, along with the other eight, will contain bonus outtakes, b-sides and rare recordings. Each album will come with a digital download booklet which contains the original sleeve artwork, liner notes, an interview with Cilla Black and rare photographs from Cilla’s private photo archive.
Cilla Black outsold all other female recording artists in Britain during the 60s and was the second most successful act after The Beatles to emerge out of the Liverpool Merseybeat boom. She released 15 studio albums and 37 singles (many of which charted world-wide) and then went on to become Britain’s most popular TV entertainer and host of two of the longest-running Saturday evening entertainment shows of the 1980s and 1990s - Blind Date (1985–2003) and Surprise, Surprise (1984–2001). |
