2016 collection. One of soul's major cult heroines, the late Linda Jones died in 1972 just as her career was really getting underway. Her passionate, unbridled vocal style was much admired by the soul cognoscenti at the time - and still is - and it's generally felt that she would have become one of the music's superstars had she not died of a diabetic seizure at the age of 27. Linda recorded over a nine year period (1963-72) and while certain periods of her career have been compiled onto CD before Precious offers the first all-encompassing overview of her career, with material from every label she recorded for. As well as her R&B and pop hits, all of Linda's big Northern Soul singles are featured, along with the very best of her album tracks and a generous helping of the ballads that her long-time fans love most of all. Meticulously remastered from the best available sources - which hasn't always been the case in the past. It should go without saying that, besides all the great music, Precious comes with a generously annotated and illustrated booklet containing many rare images.
