The Best of Barbara Jones – The Anthology -  TJACd203

Thorougly pleasant album and better than I expected in total. Recalling the lovers rock days of the late 70’s and early 80’s, the best is good and the worst is Ok., all pretty consistent, though nothing mindblowing.

The title track and those cut at around that time,1980 are probably best and encapsulate the time very well  - You and I being my particular favourite.  A bit later the version of Angel of the Morning is very nice as is the cover of Pp Arnold’s first cut.  Sentimentalist that I am it just reminds me of some things in my life back in the Brixton days.

The earlier Alvin Ranglin stuff fell generally a bit short though obvious promise in Walk through this world and the well known Slim Boy.
