Cliff Richard's second album Cliff Sings was released in November 1959 through EMI Columbia Records and recorded at Abbey Road Studios, it reached No. 2 in his native the UK, album chart despite not including "Living Doll", Richard's first #1 single. The album is split between rock 'n' roll and traditional pop standards. It was recorded in both stereo and mono but only originally released in mono on LP.
This album lays down a starting post marker for a repeated pattern during Richard's career during the 1960s in which the Shadows would eventually be marginalized out of his career as a backing group by his producer Norrie Paramor. From this album onwards, for the interim until the mid-1960s, the Shadows and the Norrie Paramor orchestra would jointly share backing duties 50:50. Tony Meehan was used as a session drummer for tracks backed by the NP orchestra.
This album was also marketed on the EP format into four EPs: Cliff Sings no.1 to 4 (both mono and stereo).
