Despite being one of the best remembered British LPs of the early 1960s this movie soundtrack, with the exception of the hit singles, consists mostly of only average material. The Young Ones topped the UK album chart, and the title track, probably Cliff’s best ever single, was a well deserved UK No. 1. Also included is the UK No. 3 The Girl In Your Arms plus The Savage, a No. 10 hit from The Shadows with an excellent B-side Peace Pipe. (UK:1)
“Cliff goes the Elvis route and fills the album with vacuous show songs, absolutely nothing to do with the excellent pop and rock that had built up his fan base. Seven show songs here including one long medley, almost every note and word of which, especially the big band arrangements, are pure cliché. However there are two classics - the seminal title track which is gorgeous and madly evocative of the pre-Beatles era and the tough Shadows classic The Savage. Everything else is empty show business vacuity.”
“Okay, this is a little 'show-tuney', but it's got the original recording of The Young Ones. Mellow surf rock as it is, that’s cool.”
“Another film from the sixties with Cliff Richard and The Shadows, which was a lot of fun to watch and great songs to listen to and enjoy.”
“It was sheer joy listening to this nostalgic collection. A journey to my childhood days. Excellent collection.”
“I've never been a massive Cliff fan, but there's a certain innocence about this and that gives it a real old-fashioned charm.”
