JESS CONRAD: Jess For You
THE DEFINITIVE 2-CD COLLECTION
OUR PRICE £11.99 WITH FREE UK POSTAGE
In the early 1960s, before Beatlemania, Jess Conrad was considered a Golden Boy of Pop. Dubbed by the NME as “The Face of ‘61”, he came to prominence on TV shows like Wham!, Boy Meets Girls, Thank Your Lucky Stars and Ready, Steady, Go!
This long overdue double CD collates most of Jess’s output from 1960 to the noughties, including his work with the legendary Joe Meek (Hurt Me, It Can Happen To You), a rare South African release (Little Bit Of Loveliness), and later recordings made for both Columbia Records (written and produced by Charles Blackwell, Mitch Murray and Les Reed) and President (with Cy Payne and Ivor Raymonde arranging and producing).
The accompanying booklet is packed with detailed sleeve notes and nostalgic pictures, which complement this unique set and pays tribute to an artist who was part of the very fabric of pre-Beatles Pop Britain.
