Jon Lucien - Search For The Inner Self (New Vinyl)
March 6 street date. Jon Lucien's ‘Search For The Inner Self’ was one of the highlights of Paul Weller's recently complied Ace CD "That Sweet, Sweet Music". Due to this and further encouragement from soul fans, DJs, and the Lucien family, Ace licensed the rest of the Beau Ray Fleming produced 1969 recordings for reissue. Here is the very start of Lucien's songwriting creativity - ‘Precious Is My Love’, ‘A Heart In Love’, ‘Flower Garden’ and ‘The Season Of Spring’ are accomplished and captivating creations, equal to his later much-admired work. The choice of cover songs was inspired. ‘Strawberries Don't Know Cherries’ was an unknown song that had yet to be covered, the reading of Barry and Robin Gibb's ‘To Love Somebody’ is exemplary, and the out-of-left-field ‘Only An Illusion’ is a number perfect for Lucien's mystical approach to soul. Producer Fleming contributed ‘It's Bigger Than I’, the previously undigitised flip to the ‘Search For The Inner Self’ 45, as well as the catchy dancer ‘We Got Love’, that DJ Snowboy has championed for years.
