Would anyone know if there is a version of Cliff and The Shads original version of The Young Ones without the strings backing in existence?
Also has The Young Ones ever been released in a stereo / pseudo-stereo version?

The no-overdub version of TYO has been released several times, the first such release in the UK having been on the EP "Hits From The Young Ones (Columbia SEG 8159) in 1962. That was, of course, in mono only, but the stereo mix has been released on:
1. "The Wonderful World Of Cliff Richard & The Shadows" -- CD Remember (EEC) CD-RMB 75610 (stereo)
2. "Cliff Richard At The Movies 1959-1974" -- CD EMI (UK) 8 52790 2 (stereo)
Mock-stereo?
The current soundtrack CD of "The Young Ones" features the mono orchestra-overdub version, converted into mock-stereo.

Then you have to go back to the original mono soundtrack album or EP, because the mono undubbed version has never been issued officially on CD anywhere.
