I am pleased to say the Cliff & Drifters/Shadows
Saturday Club CD is nearly ready (intended release date is 31st October 2012). There are a few Drifters/Shadows tracks, and we have more ... they will form a Drifters/Shadows CD to be released later. Sorry that these projects take so long, but we like to get things as near-perfect as possible. Hopefully the results will please most people ...

By the way, someone mentioned earlier here that Cliff & The Shadows would have had three-hour sessions when recording at the BBC, similar to the time allowed at Abbey Road ... in fact at the Beeb, they sometimes had as little as half an hour to record four or five songs. This accounts, in my view, for the sheer energy born out of spontaneity, or desperation. Whatever .... it worked as most of the live recordings are as good as, or even better, than the Columbia tracks!
