Cliff Richard - The UK Singles
Comments and Observations
From August 1958 to September 2009, Cliff Richard released 144 singles on the UK market. 134 of these charted on the now official UK Top 30/50/75 charts published in Music Week magazine, yielding an amassed total of 1175 weeks on the official charts.
A-sides and B-sides: Up until the 1975 release of Miss You Nights, most of Cliff's singles were original releases, not being taken from album cuts. With the trend in single releases changing in the 1970s, most of Cliff's singles from Miss You Nights on were lifted from the albums cuts. Of course, there are occasional exceptions to this. When the single was lifted from an album, EP or some other project, the singles were quite often alternate versions or edits. And some of these variations are quite rare, having been ignored by the record companies over the years. And sometimes these variations did get release, but only by accident when the album compiler grabbed the wrong version of the song off the shelf for a given project.
More often than not, the B-sides were unique releases and not album cuts. Again, there are exceptions. Even when the trend changed to culling singles from albums, the B-sides often remained unique to the single; the purpose of this being in part to encourage sales of the single in order to give it a better chart placing. And, of course, the whole concept of the "B-side" evolved from the days of the 7" single when a single had a primary side (the A-side) and the other side (the B-side). With the evolution of the single to the one-sided CD and the no-sided download single, the concept of a B-side doesn't really exist anymore, but the term persists to now roughly mean "songs on a single other than the primary title." Even download singles still have this extra song(s) included, such as the song Slow Down being packaged in a bundle and included with the download only single for The Day That I Stop Loving You.
Mono & Stereo: In the UK, all of Cliff's singles up to and including the November 1969 single With The Eyes Of A Child were released in mono format. The following four singles, February 1970's The Joy Of Living to January 1971's Sunny Honey Girl were released in stereo format. For unknown reasons, the following two singles in 1971, Silvery Rain and Flying Machine were mono again. And with the release of October 1971's Sing A Song Of Freedom, all of Cliff's singles afterwards were in stereo except for those rare exceptions when an older song that may never have existed in stereo was put on the B-side, such as 1962's The Young Ones on the B-side of 1993's Never Let Go.
Record Labels: All of Cliff's singles up to and including the November 1972 single for A Brand New Song were on the Columbia label. From the April 1973 single for Power To All Our Friends up until the July 1999 single for The Miracle, all of Cliff's singles were released on the EMI label (except when Cliff guested on another artists song). In truth, Columbia Records in the UK has been owned by EMI (Electric & Musical Industries) since the 1930s, so Cliff was under the same record company for 41 straight years. With the lack of any big successes for the 1998 Real As I Wanna Be singles, Cliff realized that EMI was no longer heavily interested in promoting him or his projects and he severed his ties with them. Perhaps it is ironic that Cliff's very next project, the 1999 The Millenium Prayer single on Papillon Records, was a huge success, spending three consecutive weeks at the #1 spot.
The Evolution of Formats: It can be interesting to observe the various formats of singles over the years. Certainly the dominate format for most of Cliff's career is the 7" vinyl single with the very first single in August 1958 in this format straight through to the October 1995 release of Misunderstood Man. That's 37 straight years of 7" vinyl releases. Since 1995, two other titles, Move It/21st Century Christmas and Singing The Blues have had 7" vinyl release, but only as collectible releases to help boost sales.
In the myriad of formats, there were some that came to be quite common during their era. These include the 10" 78RPM vinyl single from August 1958's Move It to January 1960's A Voice In The Wilderness (the format was waning in popularity during the start of Cliff's career); the 12" vinyl single from August 1983's Never Say Die (Give A Little Bit More) to December 1991's This New Year; the 5" CD single from November 1988's Mistletoe And Wine to the modern September 2009 Singing The Blues; the cassette single from May 1989's The Best Of Me to December 2001's Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World (although the first cassette single is the very rare Elton John duet for Slow Rivers); and the download single from December 2003's Santa's List to the modern September 2009 Singing The Blues. Today, the CD single as a format is waning and the download only single is taking over as the most prominent form of single release, with some singles having no physical single at all.
In the early 1980s, various collectible releases began hitting the market as a way to boost sales of a single. The first of these is a 7" picture disc of Little Town in November 1982. This soon blossomed into a wide variety of collectible releases, including various shaped picture discs, poster covers, gatefold covers, etc. This was common for many artists during the era with goal being to generate interest in the single as well as generate multiple sales to fans and boost the chart position of the song. This practice of multiple releases peaked in 1990 with the release of the From A Distance single in six different formats. The practice still continues today with Cliff's latest single, Singing The Blues, having three different formats.
Also of note, as the music retail market transformed from the dominant vinyl to CD, many record labels actually imported foreign made items and sold them as domestic releases. For example, in the early days of CD, many CDs were manufactured in Japan, Germany or the USA, but imported by the record companies and sold as UK releases. Cliff's original UK Silver CD released in 1983 was clearly manufactured in West Germany. Although the practice was somewhat common for many record companies during this era, it is thought that none of Cliff's EMI releases were handled this way. On the other hand, many UK retailers imported items many items manufactured in Europe during this era that were not UK releases, sometimes making it difficult to make a distiction. Because of this, sometimes singles in other markets, such as Scarlet Ribbons in Holland and the PWL remix of We Don't Talk Anymore in Germany are mistaken for UK singles.
Maxi-Singles: A maxi-single is a single with more than the typical two tracks on it and several of Cliff's singles were released in this format. The first maxi-single release in February 1970 is The Joy Of Living, featuring the title song on the A-side and two tracks on the B-side. Sunny Honey Girl and Silvery Rain in 1971 were also of this same format of maxi-single. The 1973 Help It Along/Tomorrow Rising was a bit unique in that it was a 7" single that had two songs on the A-side and two songs on the B-side, which is closer to an EP (Extended Play) than a single. However, by the time of the release of this single, the concept of releasing EPs was dead and this maxi-single was sold and marketed as a single rather than an EP. With the advent of the 12" and CD singles, which could easily hold more audio than a typical 7" single, maxi-singles became even more common with extended dance mixes and bonus tracks added to the mix. With the waning of the 7" vinyl single, additional tracks on singles became more common and the term maxi-single also waned and today is no longer in use.
EPs: An EP is an Extended Play vinyl record, typically 7" in size like a 7" vinyl single, but with typically two songs on each side (rarely more or less) and nearly always a nice picture cover. Although at a glance they appear basically the same as a 7" single, they are different in how they are sold and marketed. They were marketed toward a more sophisticated buyer, looking for something more than a hit song, but not an entire LP album. They cost more than a single because the buyer got more for their money with additional songs, a nicer picture cover presentation and generally more care taken in the product. Several of Cliff's EPs had both mono and stereo releases during an era when all singles were mono only. Cliff had many EPs released during the 1960s, but the popularity of the format waned and died by the end of the 1960s and EMI stopped production on them. An anomoly showing how the line can be grey between a single and an EP is the fact that the Expresso Bongo EP had a seven week run on the UK singles chart in early 1960. No other Cliff EP charted like this on the UK singles chart. Because EPs are not singles, they are not addressed any further here except where they may have influenced Cliff's UK singles.
Curious Releases: Some of Cliff's singles are not necessarily of the norm. Probably most notable are the 7" singles for Gee Whizz It's You (1961), What'd I Say (1962) and Angel (1965), which were produced in the UK for European release. Upon release, Gee Whizz It's You, began getting UK radio airplay and the UK shops began re-importing the singles (or buying direct from UK manufacturers) and it became a UK hit as a result. Similar events occurred for the What'd I Say and Angel singles, although they only appeared to have been re-imported to the UK market. Unlike Gee Whizz It's You, they failed to chart and it seems they did not get the radio airplay. Their exact status as UK singles can be sometimes nebulous and various compilers of Cliff statistics and compilations may or may not include all these as UK singles. Also of curious release is the 1964 release of This Was My Special Day which, although having a standard Columbia sleeve and stock number, was not actually sold in shops. Instead, it was only sold at the London Palladium while Cliff, The Shadows and Company were performing the Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp pantomime. The 1984 single for Baby You're Dynamite has an interesting history in that upon its release, the B-side, Ocean Deep, began getting airplay and becoming quite popular. EMI quickly tried to cash in on this and within a few weeks, reissued the single as a double A-side single with Ocean Deep as the primary side.
7" Sleeves: The majority of Cliff's UK singles before 1978's Can't Take The Hurt Anymore did not have picture sleeves and instead, used a company sleeve. Cliff's original release 1950 era singles used the purple and white Columbia sleeve, the 1960 and 1961 singles used a colorful bubble sleeve, then there was a brief usage of a colored stripe sleeve for the 1962 singles. The remainder of the Columbia singles used the colored sleeve, featuring "Columbia" across the top and a series of white dots down the right side as well as variable advertising on the backside of the sleeve. The colors of these sleeves was green from 1962 to 1968, with a brief usage of a red sleeve in 1966 and 1967 and a blue sleeve for 1968's Don't Forget To Catch Me. From February 1969's Good Times single to November 1972's A Brand New Song single, the red Columbia sleeve was used. From April 1973's Power To All Our Friends up to July 1978's Please Remember Me, a standard red and beige EMI sleeve was used (with the exceptions of the first picture sleeves). Following this, a unique picture sleeve was used for all singles except in the case where a repressing of a single was done in which case a company sleeve of the era was used.
The use of picture sleeves for Cliff's UK singles did not come into common practice until the very late 1970s with Cliff's November 1978 Can't Take The Hurt Anymore single. The exceptions are the February 1962 What'd I Say single which was actually made for foreign release, the May 1973 Help It Along/Tomorrow Rising maxi-single which is unique because of the maxi-single status, and the February 1977 My Kinda Life single. The picture sleeves for the 1978 Can't Take The Hurt Anymore and 1979 Green Light singles are actually quite rare and most singles found in the shops feature the standard EMI company sleeve instead.
Variations of 7" Labels: During the era of the 7" single, often there arose singles with slight variations in the label. This could be evident by maybe a slightly different arrangement of the text on the label, slight variations in content on the label and maybe even differences in the single's runout groove etchings. This is often caused by the same single being pressed at different pressing plants and/or repressings of a single to meet demand. These types of multiple pressings of the same single can be extremely difficult to identify and as such, they are not included here except where they are significant (such as a different color label).
Multiple Pressings: Often, there can be some slight variations in singles due to the multiple pressings. These multiple pressings may be as a result of singles being repressed due to popular demand or the same single being pressed at various plants. (Note: this is not referring to reissues, where a single is intentionally given a new issue, often with a new label and stock number, for the oldies market; those singles are discussed in the reissues section below.) Certainly in the early Columbia days, Cliff's singles appear to have been pressed all in the same plant with repressings being done as the laquers wore out. A clue to this can be seen by looking in the runout groove of the record, where at the 3 o'clock position is stamped a code that tells which laquer the record was pressed from. The letters GRAMOPHLTD (Gramophone Ltd.) encode a number whereby G=1, R=2, A=3, M=4, O=5, P=6, H=7, L=8, T=9 and D=0. Thus if a record has simply "G" as a code, then it is a first pressing from the first laquer. If it has the code "RL" as a code then it is pressed from the 28th laquer. Generally the labels would remain the same, so it can be quite difficult to determine at a glance if a single was a repressing. These types of repressings are not addressed further here except where there is some significant and easily discernable variation. Then there are those singles that were pressed at multiple plants or were produced after the usage of the GRAMOPHLTD system stopped and these singles may have some interesting variations. These types of singles can often be difficult, if not impossible to identify as variations. Other times they can be quite obvious with different color or type of label. One example is the 1986 Living Doll single with The Young Ones and Hank Marvin, which has a 7" single with at least three distinct variations: a picture label, a silver label and a blue label. These types of variations, where known, are addressed on this page where the variation is distinct.
| 7 | 7" single |
| X | mono (X) or stereo (Y) |
| CA | "Columbia American" |
| 24889 | master number (sequence number of production) |
| 45 | playback speed (45RPM/78RPM) |
This same code would appear in the runout groove of the record, except the playback speed would be replaced by a code indicating the laquer sequence and cutting room where the laquer was created (e.g. 1N indicates laquer sequence "1" and cutting room "N".
Tax Codes: Finally, for the trainspotters, also of interest is a two character code etched into the runout grooves of most of the Columbia singles. These codes refer to the UK taxes to be paid on the record. The following chart gives the dates of introduction.

This is the same as the original mono Summer Holiday album.This single was sold and marketed as a double A-side. It is interesting to note that another take of Bachelor Boy was prepared for release in the US market, probably because it was full stereo and not the split stereo version that appeared on the original UK Summer Holiday LP. However, this alternate take has mostly superseded the original album/single take and appears on nearly all compilations since the late 1980s, making the original version a rarity.

Cliff Richard has no involvement in this song. It is performed by Faye Fisher, Joan Palethorpe, Audrey Bayley and Norrie Paramor and his orchestra with the Mike Sammes Singers.This single, although given a regular Columbia catalog number and pressing, was sold exclusively in the foyer of the London Palladium where Cliff and The Shadows were performing the Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp pantomime. Because of this exclusivity, it's status as an official Cliff Richard single release remains unclear and the song failed to chart at all. The original mono version of This Was My Special Day has never been released in digital (CD or download) format.

This is an original B-side.Although not explicitly labeled as such, this single was considered a maxi-single because of the additional songs. It actually has more in common with an EP, but it was sold, marketed and charted as a single. The tracks on this single are the unused songs recorded for the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest. Cliff had recorded six songs total, and Power To All Our Friends was chosen as the song contest song (with Come Back Billie Jo on the B-side), so these are the leftovers from that set.
Curiously, the cover lists the title of the third song as The Days Of Love, but the record label lists it as Days Of Love only.

Wouldn't You Know It (Got Myself A Girl)
(Raymond Rasch & Dorothy Wayne -OR- Alan Tarney & Trevor Spencer (sources contradict))Running Time: 3:03
This is an original B-side.Shortly after this single's release, Cliff was told that the song was about a prostitute. As a result, he quit promoting it and encouraged the public to ignore it. By some accounts, he is reported to have had the single actually withdrawn, but that remains unclear. The song is not necessarily about a prostitute, but rather just a woman who hangs out at the honky tonk (bar with music and dancing). However it is probably a result of a misunderstanding of the term and American culture in Britain that led to this interpretation. In any case, Cliff was incorrectly led to believe that the song was about a prostitute and dropped the song as a result. * Show/Hide release information for Honky Tonk Angel and Wouldn't You Know It (Got Myself A Girl)...
