1) Where track titles are duplicated am I correct in assuming that one is the mono version and one is the stereo version ?
2) If this is the case are these exactly the same recordings or (as per some of Cliff's) alternate takes, etc.
If so please, if possible, let me know the differences.
3) Are the tracks from South African EP in mono or stereo ?
4) The original SA EP tapes were destroyed I once read so are these versions therefore dubbed from vinyl ?
5) Are the Paris tracks from 1961 in mono or stereo ?
6) Are the tracks from the "Cliff" live album in mono or stereo ?
Is it just me or is there just no logic at all to the running order of these CDs ?? !!

Luckily, producer Bernie Andrews apparently taped his own 'back up' (for reference purposes) & many tracks therefore survived in his own personal 'archive' (which lay forgotten for over 40 years!). To cut a long story short - those tapes are now in the possession of John Beecher at RollerCoaster Records. Anyway, I digress. Cliff & The Shads had rehearsed up a set number of tracks for the aforementioned show. But.....as the first half progressed the producer realised that they were c. 2 minutes of music short. Because of 'needle time' (M U ) restrictions - a record couldn't be inserted. Cliff didn't want to go live with anything unrehearsed. So....the Shadows were pressed into service with an unscheduled "Guitar Boogie". The track fades / cuts off as they were still playing when the programme cut to the news bulletin.
