Free Music Notes for Where Are You Now My Love

Free Music Review: Brilliant compilation of an under-rated singer
Hit: 5 Stars

There were plenty of others around, but they had to be content with one big hit (or two if they were lucky). One of these was Jackie Trent, who hit number one in Britain with Where are you now (my love)? and had two minor hits which barely scraped into the charts.

Jackie achieved greater success as a songwriter (usually in collaboration with long-time husband Tony Hatch). Later they would co-write the theme to the Australian TV series Neighbours. Perhaps it was the success that they had giving their songs to others (especially Petula) that restricted Jackie's own hits.

Apparently Jackie at one time considered keeping I Couldn't live without your love for herself, before giving it to Petula. Even so, there are enough songs here which weren't British hits but ought to have been. Some were hits in other countries. Send her away was a big hit in Germany, yet only a B-side in Britain - did the record company make a mistake?

This is the best compilation of Jackie's work so far, although only 10 of the 50 tracks duplicate the single-CD 25-track compilation with a similar title, so the dedeicated fan will probably want both.

For those who like female singers of the late sixties, this double CD is well woth investigating. It even includes a version of a song she gave to Petula - My Love - but interpreted diffrently. It includes some tracks recorded as late as 1975, but most tracks are from the sixties. There are no duets with Tony Hatch here - perhaps the record company will release these in the future? Buy this now, anyway - you will think it money well spent.
