The first compilation of hit singles from the UK's top 1960's pop vocalist, Cliff's Hit Album includes his biggest hits from the 1958-62 period. Needless to say it is crammed full of the timeless songs which launched Cliff's lengthy singing career. A fantastic album, taken mostly from the supposedly 'barren' period between the rock & roll and Beatles eras. Was The Young Ones his best ever single? (UK:2)

"The album remains the finest single summary of Richard's early years."

"Theme For A Dream is all lilting melody, subtle backing, and overwhelmingly chirpy girlie backing vocals - an oft-overlooked gem."

"A Voice In The Wilderness is deliciously desolate."

"It is to the compiler's credit that neither success nor popularity was allowed to stand in the way of creating a supremely well-rounded summary of the story so far."

"All of the biggest hits are included, of course, but some astonishing gems, too, are resurrected."

"The early rock & roll type songs - rhythmic, melodic and make you 'wanna dance' - unlike the junk you get in the charts nowadays - are above all fun."

"My only gripe about The Young Ones is that nothing like it will ever be recorded again."

"Move It was definitely ahead of its time."
