LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

A long-overdue, all-encompassing career overview of probably the most revered all-round arranger/songwriter/producer in the history of popular music.Name any important artist or producer and Jack Nitzsche probably worked with them at some point during a career that spanned four decades and literally thousands of sessions Every facet of Nitzsche’s glittering career is incorporated here, from songwriter (‘Needles And Pins’) to collaborator with the Rolling Stones, from recording artist in his own right to Oscar-winning soundtrack composer.More than half of the tracks selected have never been on CD before and the booklet contains a wealth of never-publicly-seen images, provided especially for this project by Jack Nitzsche’s son, Jack Jr, plus full, freshly researched notes from Mick Patrick who has interviewed a large number of those connected to this project.This CD is released with the full blessing and co-operation of the Nitzsche estate. This is one of Ace’s “benchmark” CDs which we are sure will help to further Jack Nitzsche Jr’s aim to get his father inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame.
