Dream is an EP by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, released in November 1961. It peaked at number 3 on both the Record Retailer and Melody Maker EP charts. [1] [2]
On the back of the success of "Theme for a Dream" (a top-three hit in March 1961), Richard decided to record several "dream" themed pop standards. [3] Recorded in May at EMI Studios, these tracks were released as an EP, appropriately named Dream, in November 1961. [4] Writing in the liner notes, James Wynn described Richard as "[adding] new dimensions to these time-tested favourites, giving them a freshness and vitality that brings them bang up to date. Such fine standards thoroughly deserve a new lease of life – and Cliff is just the right person to provide it". [3]
