Cilla Black - Sweet Inspiration / Images (2 CD Expanded Edition)

UK two CD set. Comes with a richly illustrated 28-page photo booklet with introductory sleeve notes and quotes from a 2009 interview with Cilla herself. Cilla Black was the best-selling, British female recording artist in the U.K. during the 1960s. An accomplished and truly popular song stylist, she continued her legendary association with Beatles' producer Sir George Martin into the early 1970's. The two classic albums that make up this deluxe set were both Sir George Martin productions as they were her first two album releases of the 1970s; Sweet Inspiration from 1970 and 1971's Images. In a 2009 interview, Sir George Martin stated how he admired, "Cilla's courage and natural ability in tackling new challenges from all parts of the music world... a truly versatile and multi-faceted recording artist who is, undoubtedly, one of the greats of British pop music." Such talent and repertoire diversity is amply evident on these especially expanded editions of these two classic Cilla albums.
