122 RECORDINGS RE-MASTERED!
07 September 2009

All ten studio albums Cilla released for the EMI group during the 1960s & '70s are released worldwide* today (September 7^th) on download.

EMI began work on these projects earlier this year after conceding to growing pressure from Cilla's fan base which demanded her LPs be re-issued for once and for all in a digitally re-mastered format. This mammoth series of re-issues includes a total of 122 original stereo recordings plus rare bonus tracks from the archives at Abbey Road. These albums offer a magnificent array of musical genres from pop, jazz, R&B, show tunes, sixties power-ballads, gospel and disco - all demonstrating Cilla Black’s versatility as a song stylist.

EMI have also taken the unprecedented step to also include digital booklets with each of these catalogue re-issues. These contain original album artwork, detailed track information, an all-new interview with Cilla as well as photographs from her private photo archive. Each booklet will be available from iTunes when an entire album re-issue is purchased.
