Description
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". When also issuing it as a single, we included 'We Got Love', a track from his self-financed CD "Precious Is Love", which proved to be as feted a choice as the top side. Due to this and further encouragement from soul fans, DJs and the Lucien family, we licensed the rest of the Beau Ray Fleming produced 1969 recordings for LP and CD 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. When Jon Lucien released the original CD in 1999, he only made about 100 copies; demand has rocketed for it ever since. It was never on vinyl originally. We have commissioned sleevenotes from acclaimed US scribe Kevin Goins to enhance the packaging of both formats.
