       Hot on the heels of the fall 1959 hit "Living Doll," ABC picked up two
Cliff Richard albums for U.S. release: his U.K. sophomore Cliff Sings, and his
fourth album, Listen to Cliff!. (The vastly superior Me and My Shadows was
inexplicably passed over.) The label's hopes for the singer were evident in
their choice of the material showcasing him for an American audience. Intending
to package him as a strictly English phenomenon, ABC often opted against
releasing his covers of well-known American material in favor of homegrown
material. A skillful cover of "Willie & The Hand Jive," recorded as the flip to
1960's "Fall in Love with You" 45, for example, was dropped from the American
release, in favor of the Ian Samwell original "Choppin' and Changin'," while the
Listen to Cliff! album shed four tracks including, unfortunately, the
pace-setting version of "What'd I Say" that opens the U.K. version. A seething
version of "Beat Out Dat Rhythm on a Drum," Lerner & Loewe's exotic "Almost Like
Being in Love," and Fats Domino's "I Want You to Know" also departed â€”
not only were U.S. versions already better known, it has been remarked upon
elsewhere that, of the three groups of musicians with whom Richard recorded this
album, the Shadows and the Bernard Ebbinghouse Band both lost two performances
each, while longtime producer Norrie Paramor's eponymous orchestra emerged from
the pruning with their contributions unscathed. Politically, that one could run
forever. Musically, however, the end result of such carnage is not so
significant as one might expect. If there is any one major criticism to be
directed at the U.K. original, it was that the variety and versatility sometimes
became overwhelming. Trimming away four songs â€” two rock numbers, two
jazzy pieces â€” leveled the sonic playing field somewhere, not only
presenting a well-rounded portrait, but a well-mannered one as well. No raucous
shouting, no seductive fire dancing, just a well-mannered English lad with a
happy smile and a lovely voice. Or, as the American liner notes introduce him as
"a balladeer, a rock & roller, and a swinger." Indeed. ~ Dave Thompson
