Cliff Richard - It's All In The Game

A U.S. release which has no equivalent in Cliff Richard's U.K. catalog, It's All in the Game was created in the (belated) aftermath of the title track's 1964 chart success, drawing together a clutch of tracks previously unreleased on LP, and one which had never appeared anywhere -- "I Only Know I Love You." "Where the Four Winds below" came from the U.K. 1961 EP Why Don't They Understand; "Since I Lost You" was the B-side of the "Do You Wanna Dance" single that same year. "I Found a Rose" dated from the 1962 Love Is Forever EP; "Secret Love," "I'm in the Mood for Love," and "Love Letters" were all culled from 1963's Love Songs EP; "I Only Came to Say Goodbye" from the Angel EP; "Kiss" and "Magic Is the Moonlight" were excerpted from 1965's Cliff Richard album; "Fly Me to the Moon" from the following year's Kinda Latin. Despite such a broad time span, It's All in the Game emerges as a very cohesive (if somewhat eccentric) collection.
