Essential Cilla Black [1963-78] (Various Producers: See Below) Release Date: October 5, 1999 Label: EMI Australia Genre: Pop, Merseybeat, Soul, Soft Rock Recorded: 1963-78

Physical: amazon.co.uk / amazon.com

This critically acclaimed 2CD set was a project carefully conceived and compiled for the Australian music market from fan feedback on this website. The release poignantly re-affirmed Cilla's connection with songwriters Lennon & McCartney and Bacharach & David by showcasing the majority of the recordings Cilla made of their respective work. This particular Cilla Black CD project was also notably the first whereby EMI Australia had actually mastered all the recordings from the original master tapes (opposed to opting for only vinyl LP transfers).
