Had this album been released in 1952, it would have been Cliff Richard's second live album. His first, and debut LP, simply titled Cliff, was also live, recorded at Abbey Road Studios before an invited audience of two hundred, and had featured Cliff backed by the Drifters, who had yet to become the Shadows, and whose collective repertoire then concentrated on a string of rock'n'roll favorites. Almost three years later, Columbia Records decided to tape Cliff and the Shadows' first and second houses at the ABC Theatre in Kingston, on 7 March 1962, during a twenty-three-date tour of one nighters. The subsequent album would be provisionally titled The Cliff Richard Show with one side devoted to the Shadows and the other to Cliff. |

The first step in this ambitions project - at least for a pop record in those days - began with a survey of the venue the previous week to see if it was going to be workable for making a live album. With facilities to set up a control room inside the cinema, suitable locations for for hanging audience microphones, good acoustic separation and reasonable access for cables, main supplies, and offloading recording equipment, it seemed it would. |
