Jackie Trent And Tony Hatch - Live For Love		Review
I recommend this album, which was originally released in 1968, for its songs with positive and cheerful lyrics. The masterpiece, in my opinion, is the quiet ballad "Lazy Day" in which both voices describe the sky and the sea in the course of the sunset, as if it were a painting. The voices harmonize perfectly throughout the album. Sweet instrumentations in soft pop and sunshine pop songs, to forget about everything and be immersed in a musical paradise. The booklet includes the lyrics in English and Japanese, the credits of the songs, as well as the discography of each of the solo members, as well as that of the duo. Unbeatable presentation of the material.

Petula Clark - Today		Review
Excellent renditions by Petula Clark. I find the dramatic "Coming Back To You" (Colombier/Gimbel) one of the best songs of the album, arranged by French musician Michel Colombier. "I've Got To Know" (A. David) is an outstanding sad ballad in which the lyric talks about her lover being attracted by another woman - arrangements by Johney Arthey. Petula sings the melancholic "After You" (Trent/Hatch) living it and the song has nice instrumental arrangements. "City Lights" (Trent/Hatch) is another favorite along with the energyc and uptempo title track "Today" (Clark/Harris), arranged and written by the prestigious musician Johnny Harris, his wife Kim co-wrote it. The soulful "After The Hill" (Holding/Trent) is very catchy, like "Marie de Vere" (Trent/Hatch) set in the music hall style. "Spring In September" (Trent/Hatch) goes between a slow ballad rhythm and a happy soulful one making it an interesting selection. The Trent/Hatch ballad "Close To You" which Petula performs elegantly has beautiful backing vocals and nice orchestra arrangements by Tony Hatch in a moderate tempo. Two hits were included on the album, opening and closing it, probably to make it sell "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" and "This Is My Song". The latter has an introduction and single vocal on the version included on this CD. The bonus tracks are all outtakes from the "Pink" album sessions (recorded in january 1968) with producer Tony Hatch, except "Look To The Sky" which was recorded in Hollywood (backing track) and in London (vocal) in 1967. The three self-penned songs "Look To The Sky", "I’ve Got Love Going For Me" and "Every Time I See A Rainbow" were used as B-Sides in 1968 singles. Whereas "Take Good Care Of Your Heart" is the alternate version of another B-Side called "American Boys" (1968). "Love Will Find A Way" was left in the vaults and there's an interesting alternate version, with more orchestration, you can find on a 2010 collection by the label Reader's Digest.

The Trent/Hatch ballad "Close To You" which Petula performs elegantly has beautiful backing vocals and nice orchestra arrangements by Tony Hatch in a moderate tempo. Two hits were included on the album, opening and closing it, probably to make it sell since the album wasn't promoted and no single was released with any other song from the LP.

Jackie Trent And Tony Hatch - Two For The Show		Review
"How do you do" is great uptempo song where Jackie and Tony blend their voices harmonically. In "Jerusalem" Jackie does a great lead vocal with a soulful rhythm. "Reason to believe" is a sunshiny pop jewel by both voices. On "Last night I didn't get to sleep at all" we find Jackie's solo voice doing an elegant performance. "Betcha by golly, wow" has solos by both Tony and Jackie doing a melodical song that has a sense of melancholy. "So deep is the night" is sung by Jackie, an excellent ballad with nice arrangements. "Gotta get away" is another uptempo song featuring the duo in a pop style, this was featured on the 1st episode of "The persuaders" series. Jackie does a great performance on "Didn't we?" written by Jim Webb. The catchy "Love is life" has a bossa nova rhythm and it's a relaxing song. Jackie sings a great version of "Jesus-Christ Superstar" "I don't know how to love him" with her powerful outstanding voice. "You're so good for me" is a tender positive pop song. The song closing the album is "The world is a circle" from the film "Lost Horizon" where Jackie is accompanied by children which leads to a very innocent and excellent song. I recommend this album.
