Before Cliff and The Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music John Lennon In a career that has spanned over 50 years and over 250 million records sold, Sir Cliff Richard has topped the charts in every decade since the 1950s. Looking back, it can be easy to forget just how Cliff Richard started out: as a rebellious rock and roll singer, an 18-year-old with natural star power. Cliff's charisma was clear for all to see, but when he teamed up with The Shadows for his first number one single, true magic was born The Shadows provided such effective and dynamic musical accompaniment that they went on to forge a successful career independent of Cliff Richard. Hank Marvin s trademark tremolo sound went on to influence a generation of guitarists in the same way that Cliff drove singers such as John Lennon to take to the stage.

This incredible boxed set comprises 15 CD's from the legendary P&P Records and its associated labels.
Featuring 185 songs from 22 different record labels, it has a total playing time of over 18½ hours.
It is the first time ever that the complete P&P output has been assembled in one collection and it is a testament to the talents of Peter Brown, Patrick Adams and Patricia Gilyard that this music is in as much demand today as it was when these titles were originally released as 12" singles.

Following the chart success of Ali Campbell 's last two solo albums , comes the release of Great British Songs, an album containing sublime interpretations of iconic British songs from the Beatles, Rolling Stones and many more. Over the course of his career, Ali, as part of UB40 has sold over 70 million records world wide and has one of the UK's most distinctive voices. Campbell recorded this album with the legendary Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. The CD+DVD format contains filmed footage documenting the recording of the album filmed in Jamaica and London.

In the years after Elvis Presley but before the Beatles, Cliff Richard was the biggest thing in British rock & roll – and in the years after the Beatles, he was never far from the top of the U.K. charts. Arriving in 1958, just a couple of years after skiffle swept Britain, Richard was the first English singer to approximate the hip-shaking rebellion of American rock & roll with his 1958 debut single "Move It." A smash hit right out of the gate, "Move It" kicked off an astonishing five decades' worth of hits (as of 2014, his last time in the U.K. Top 10 was in 2008, when "Thank You for a Lifetime" went to number three). The earliest recordings, most made with his backing band the Shadows, were his hardest-rocking and undoubtedly his most influential, making an impression on nearly the entire first generation of British rock & rollers. Like Presley, who was certainly Richard's key influence, Cliff's popularity wound up pushing him ever so gradually to the status of an all-around entertainer. He moved into movies quickly – the first came just a year after "Move It" – and the Shadows tamed their rockabilly, but the real shift into the mainstream came after the Beatles opened the flood gates for homegrown British rock & roll, banishing Richard to the status of an older generation. Cliff continued to have hits in the '60s, even after he and the Shadows disbanded in 1968, but he split his time between pop and Christian music; in the early '70s, he focused on hosting a variety show on the BBC.
