We present two more rare and wonderful tracks from the much-admired Jon Lucien's creative early 70s period, when his singing and songwriting skills were blossoming. Both tracks only appeared on a limited-press CD that Lucien released in 1999. Kent released the tracks as a vinyl LP earlier this year and this is the second single to be issued due to demand from DJs and collectors. 'Precious Is My Love' is a classic Jon Lucien composition - romantic and positive with a beautiful melody over a mid-tempo beat. The talented arranger "Beau" Ray Fleming worked on these songs at the time of Lucien's masterpiece 'Search For The Inner Self'. The production team chose an obscure Jimmy Williams and Estell Levitt song 'Strawberries Don't Know Cherries', previously only known from an acetate. Fleming would have known the pair from the New York music business and picked a great song for Lucien that showed another tougher and funkier side to the singer. The coupling is a winning combination for Lucien aficionados
