JON LUCIEN
‘Rashida’ Lp
Description: Original 1973 US Pressed Lp.
‘Rashida’ Solidified Lucien's Status As A Purveyor Of Intelligent Romantic Ballads And Poetic Lyrics. Produced By Shep Meyers And Larry Rosen, Rashida, Displays Lucien's Soothing Baritone And Romantic Nature With Much Aplomb. As The Arranger Here, Lucien Also Shows An Immense Capacity For Melodies. Although This Album Has A Few Clunky Danceable Tracks, At This Point, Lucien Was Much Better At Handling The Ballads. "Kuenda" A Mellow, Wordless Vocal Sets The Stage For The Album's Ambience. "Would You Believe In Me" Benefits From Lucien's Relentless Poesy And A Strong Idiosyncratic Horn Arrangement. To A Listener, Lucien No Doubt Might Seem Like An Odd Bird, (Having A Track Called Satan Doesn't Help), But Often When The Arrangements And Lucien's Vocals Are In Sync, He Is Simply One Of The Most Focused And Emotional Balladeers To Even Set In Front Of A Microphone. The Title Track Has Lucien Playing The Tortured Romantic With A Cinematic, Emotion Filled Arrangement. On "Lady Love," The Finest Of His Early Songs, He Sings, "Darling Let Me Lay Beside You, Kiss My Burning Lips About You, For I'm A Child Of God". There's No Two Ways About It, You Either Like This Stuff Or You Don't. "Love Everlasting" Takes A More Lighthearted Approach With Its Breezy Arrangement And Sentiment. For His Fans, Rashida Is One Of Lucien's Best Loved Albums And Would Be Essential Listening To Those Who Are So Inclined.

Postage & Packaging Details
I do combined shipping so if you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if i send them in the same mailer.
All records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with 2 cardboard stiffeners. I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve.
