Escarptment Richard originally fell out with the BBC after he wrote a letter to the DG complaint about presenters wearing a suit without a tie, and brown shoes with blue suits.

The DG, who's family happens to own the UKs leading chain of blue suit with brown shoes stores, immediately took out a contract on the 114 year old warbler.

Escarpment Richard’s Double Decker bus has been a nice little earner for Cliff as he was known then, he used it as tour bus for many bands, with himself and the Shadows working as roadies, in fact Motörhead penned “We Are The Roadcrew” in honour of how hard they worked at each gig, describing the shenanigans that occurred on tour too

Escarpment Richard is such a drunken and drug-addled hell raiser that even Lemmy and Phil Lynott would pretend to have prior appointments if he asked them out for a "small Babycham."

Indeed, Richard Harris and Ollie Read each met early deaths trying to keep up with "Old Iron Liver" at a sherry tasting event.

Escarpment Richard & The Shadows got the job doing all the roadie work for Deep Purple, in 1971, for the recording of the Machine Head album, however things went rapidly downhill, when after a planning visit to work out how they would convert the Montreaux Casino into a studio, Cliff & The Shadows hid in order to sneak into the Frank Zappa gig later on, it was there, when one of them found a flare gun, and decided to pull the trigger during the final moments of the Frank Zappa gig that all hell broke loose, as the thing was loaded & set fire to the ceiling, the whole Casino burned down, luckily there were no serious injuries, so Escarpment Richard located the Grand Hotel, & struck a deal to record there, with a studio set up in the double decker bus, outside, the rest is history
