There are actually three answers to this question, depending where you want to set your goalposts! While Cliff Richard's first album, Cliff, was recorded with The Shadows in 1959, at this time The Shadows were actually called The Drifters. The Shadows also appear on Cliff's second album, Cliff Sings, released the same year, but only appear on half of the tracks. The first album on which The Shadows are both the only backing band AND under the name The Shadows (and not The Drifters!) is Me and My Shadows, released in 1960.
