Here are, not just a chance to listen and read but also a chance to get your hands on this fine recent release from Kent records. All you have to do is read the below release notes and then answer a morning tv type question as per the details at the end of the news item, and the winner gets a brand new still sealed copy of the Lp. Easy. Jeanette Jones - Dreams All Come True - Kent LP Catalogue: HIQLP 047 £17.80 Release Notes (extract) The complete recordings of this enigmatic San Francisco singer. Pressed on 180g white vinyl in heavy duty sleeve, with rare photos on inner bag. Jeanette Jones is an enigma. Hers is a full-blooded voice overflowing with unbridled emotion. The passion leaps from the grooves. On record, Jeanette mostly sang for the Lord. But she made a handful of attempts at a mainstream career: lost gems that demonstrate a singer fully in control. There was a lone single released in 1969, while other, originally unissued, tracks have featured on various BGP and Kent compilations over the years. Now that Ace owns the Golden State Recorders catalogue, it makes sense to bring all the Jeanette Jones masters together to showcase the talent of this fine and soulful singer. Jeanette, however, remains a mysterious figure, with few clues as to who she was, where she came from, or where she might have ended up.... ....After that, the trail runs cold. When discussing Jeanette, Leo Kulka often lamented that he had been unable to make her more successful. But he remained proud of the recordings he had a hand in, and this album shows exactly why.
