Beginnings: Greatest Hits & New Songs is the fifteenth solo studio album by Cilla Black. The project featured eleven all-new studio recordings produced by Ted Carfrae alongside nine of her own hit singles produced by George Martin. Also included as a hidden track was a club remix of a re-recording of "Step Inside Love" produced by DJ Tommy Sandhu (which had been a #3 UK Club Hit).[2]
The album was a minor hit in the UK charts, peaking at no. 68, and staying in the top 75 for one week.
