The “Oh Boy!” LP is officially released this week. It had been recorded live at Abbey Road Studios on Sunday 19th October 1958. The album, which. surprisingly did not chart, was reviewed, albeit briefly, in the NME by ‘Alleycat’ on 12th December 1958, who on the same page had lambasted Cliff’s “Oh Boy!” performance the previous Saturday (6th December) as “crude exhibitionism".

Many well-known stars have penned titles featured on Jack Good's "Oh Boy!" album presented by Columbia - including Bobby Darin's Early In The Morning" (performed by Cliff Richard), plus tracks by Cliff of Jerry Lee Lewis' "High School Confidential", Bobby Day's "Rockin Robin, and Melvin Endsley's "TV Hop".  Jack Scott's "Leroy" is sung by Neville Taylor, aided by the Dallas Boys and instrumental John Barry Seven group, a version of of Little Richard's "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey," sung by Cuddly Dudley; also a combination of Cliff Richard and a vocal group led by Neville Taylor offering "I'll Try" (from the pen of Conway Twitty) and "Pancho", John Barry's own composition, presented by The John Barry even.
