From The Album "Sincerely Cliff" 1968 saw Cliff Richard embark upon a marathon series of sessions that would provide material for his next three LPs -- Established 1958, Tracks 'n Grooves, and Sincerely Cliff. Spread out over the course of more than a year, these recordings were not, in themselves, that different from the material he recorded on either side; despite teaming up with both the remnants of the Shadows, and orchestra leaders Mike Vickers, Mike Leander, and Alan Hawkshaw, he remained locked in a seriously MOR mode. But the albums themselves would each possess their own dramatic character and flavour, with "Sincerely Cliff", the second of the three to be released, standing proud among his best overall sets since the early '60s. Footage is from The 1966 Movie "The Undertaker and His Pals"
