VERY RARE 1961 INDIA PRESS#3 CLIFF RICHARD 78 THEME FOR A DREAM/ MUMBLIN' MOSIE..NR MINT

Intro
Harry Webb became lead singer of a rock and roll group, the Drifters (not to be confused with the US group of the same name). 1950s entrepreneur Harry Greatorex wanted 
Before their first large-scale appearance, at the Regal Ballroom in Ripley, Derbyshire in 1958, they adopted the name "Cliff Richard and the Drifters". The four members were Harry Webb (now going under the stage name "Cliff Richard"), Ian "Sammy" Samwell on guitar, Terry Smart on drums and Norman Mitham on guitar. None of the other three played with the later and better knownShadows, although Samwell wrote songs for Richard's later career.

For his debut session, Norrie Paramorprovided Richard with "Schoolboy Crush", acover of an American record by Bobby Helms. Richard was permitted to record one of his own songs for the B-side; this was "Move It", written by the Drifters' Samwell on a number 715 Green Line bus on the way to Richard's house for a rehearsal. For the "Move It" session, Paramor used the session guitarist Ernie Shears on lead guitar and Frank Clark on bass.

There are various stories about why the A-side was replaced by the intended B-side. One is that Norrie Paramor's young daughter raved about the B-side; another was that influential TV producer Jack Good, who used the act for his TV show Oh Boy!, wanted the only song on his show to be "Move It".

In the early days, Richard was marketed as the British equivalent to Elvis Presley. Like previous British rockers such as Tommy Steele and Marty Wilde, Richard adopted Presley-like dress and hairstyle. In performance he struck a pose of rock attitude, rarely smiling or looking at the audience or camera. His late 1958 and early 1959 follow-up singles, "High Class Baby" and "Livin' Lovin' Doll", were followed by "Mean Streak", which carried a rocker's sense of speed and passion, and Lionel Bart's "Living Doll".

It was on "Living Doll" that the Drifters began to back Richard on record. It was his fifth record, and became his first No. 1 single. By that time the group's line-up had changed with the arrival of Jet Harris, Tony Meehan,Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch. The group was obliged to change its name to "The Shadows" after legal complications with the American group the Drifters as "Living Doll" 

Richard's fifth single "Living Doll" triggered a softer, more relaxed, sound. Subsequent hits, the No. 1s "Travellin' Light" and "I Love You" and also "A Voice in the Wilderness" lifted from his film Expresso Bongo and "Theme for a Dream" cemented Richard's status as a mainstream pop entertainer along with contemporaries such as Adam Faith and Billy Fury. Throughout the early 1960s, his hits were consistently in the top five.

Theme for a dream

You are my theme for a dream
Yes you are, a rare and lovely theme (You're a theme for a dream)
The dreams I dream day and night
That your arms are holding me so tight (You're a theme for a dream)
When I dream I kiss you (kiss you)
Music fills with starlight (starlight)
Every time I touch you ( when I touch you)
Each and every time a chime rings out I love you
Only you for ever more

'Cause you're my theme for a dream
Yes you are a rare and lovely theme (You're my theme for a dream)
So, angel please say that you love me too
And make my dreams come true dream (you're my theme for a dream)

When I dream I kiss you (kiss you)
Music fills with starlight (starlight)
Every time I touch you ( when I touch you)
Each and every time a chime rings out I love you
Only you for ever more

'Cause you're my theme for a dream
Yes you are a rare and lovely theme (You're my theme for a dream)
So, angel please say that you love me too
And make my dreams come true dream

And make my dreams come true
Please make my dreams come true.

Mumblin' mosie

I got a gal and she's so sweet
She's the cutest little thing you did ever meet
That's the craziest chick I ever had
Aah, just one thing, she stutters like mad
And she said...
[Chorus:] Mumblin', mumblin', mum-mum
Ninety-nine, nighty-nine-nine, ah-ah
Mumblin', mumblin', mum-mum
Ninety-nine, nighty-nine-nine, woh
I took my girl for a bite to eat
To the little drive-in down the street
Aah, the waitress said 'How do you do? '
She said 'What can I do for you? '
My girl said...
(Repeat chorus)
I got weak and asked for her hand
I even bought a wedding band
And though I'm not the marryin' type
I said c'mon and be my wife
And she said...
(Repeat chorus twice)
A good thing that she stuttered so long
When she finally said 'yes', I was gone
