Comment:
OK, so a while back, I get it in my head I gotta have this Cilla Black double CD collection (The Essential Cilla Black: 1963-78) that's like WAY expensive, but full of songs that suggest to me she's the bizarro Dionne Warwick. Prior to finding this, I was only familiar with a couple of songs from her VERY early stuff, but now I'm thinking Capitol, or whoever was DW's label, didn't wanna pay her airfare to perform over in the old country and so decided to manufacture an English version that could do all the same songs with pretty much the same stylings as the diva-ish Di, at a much lower cost. Hence, Cilla Black's middle career. If this isn't sounding all that adoring of me, well, that's because after I bought the CD (for an ungodly sum), I quickly learned it was about one and a half CDs too long. In paring it down to the tracks on "Bound to Wheeze" (name inspired, BTW, by a photo of Cilla all dolled up like Lulu, but bound around with some heavy rope...?), I decided to include more than anyone would EVER want to hear on one disk, just so they could experience the same joy I felt as I sculpted this sprawling recording into something approaching listenability. Cilla, I LOVE you! I DO!!! (Even though you're supposedly hosting a dating game rip-off on Australian TV... well, as long as it keeps her out of the recording studio. Me-OW!) The tracks, BTW, are arranged chronologically.
Feedback:
A Cilla Black mix! Something I never thought I'd see! Seriously, no offence (as I can see this is a lovingly made tribute. And you do say that some Cilla was too much Cilla) but this amuses me no end. Y'know, I could never really get away anything this Liverpudlian lass made. Her rasping voice, the hilariously prophesised dream she had of achieving worldwide ubiquity, her hideous manipulation of the 'Carnaby Street' madness (ugly! ugly! ugly!), the garbage she sang about... oh, everything.
But hey, I know A LOT of people who'd kill for this mix. And she actually hosts a dating game show here in the UK and is the celebrated queen of tacky-tv!

Thanks for the correction. UK TV. My sympathies, but you must divulge the UGLY details of her Carnaby Street debacle! And no offense taken in the least, lest you forget, I possess a recording of her doing "Brooklyn." Even _I_ couldn't, in jest, include that humdinger!
Okay, Gary, I want this. What do you want from me? :-)
As a proud owner of this mix, in all its glory, I must concur... a little Cilla goes a long, long way. This is definitely worth it, however, there are some classic cuts on here!
