Prior to their arrival at Clacton, the group had cut their first demo-disc in a recording booth in Oxford Street, London, thanks to the promotional efforts of Johnny Foster and a loan of £10 from his mother. The song called 'Move It', written by Ian Samwell, was to be the start of something much bigger for Cliff and the boys. Their recording had been heard by the right people, and arrangements were made for them to appear in the original 'Oh Boy' show. This virtually ended their Butlin engagement and it was mutually agreed that their contract should be terminated. Almost immediately 'Move It' was released by Columbia Records and went to number two in the charts.
To dispel any rumours, Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch were never at Butlin's. They were hired later by Cliff when, or at about the time the name was changed to Cliff Richard & the Shadows.

Well, send me love in a package labelled dynamite
I want a love that is full of passion and intensity, like a package labelled 'dynamite'
I wanna feel an explosion when I hold you tight
I want to experience an explosive feeling of love when I hold you close
I got a powerhouse reception, waiting for you when you come back to your loving baby's arms again
I will be waiting with open arms for you when you come back to me, ready to give you all the love and passion you deserve
We sail across the stars until a silvery moon
We will travel far and wide together, exploring the wonders of the universe
If you wanna know what heaven's like you'll be there soon
Our love is so powerful and transcendent that it will take us to a place of ultimate happiness and bliss
Well, give me kisses that explode before my very eyes
I want your kisses to be so full of passion and excitement that they leave me breathless
I know the sight of you could generate a million sighs
I am so enamored with you that just seeing you could bring me infinite joy and contentment
I'm all set for detonation, baby, don't you know
I am ready and willing to give my all to you, to explode with love and passion for you
Three, two, one, zero, here I go
I am about to unleash all of my love and passion for you, with no holding back
Dynamite!
Our love is explosive and powerful, like dynamite
