Synopsis
Album Description Jefferson was pseudonym for Geoff Turton, ex-lead singer with Midlands beat band The Rockin' Berries. In 1968, he stuck it alone, scoring a UK hit with 'The Colour Of My Love', & a second US hit with 'Baby Take Me In Your Arms' (both of which are included here). The Colour Of My Love contains all Jefferson's recordings for Pye. It begins with a Geoff Turton solo recording before Jefferson's official debut, Jimmy Webb's 'Montage', & then working through later singles & Jefferson's sole Pye album. The album ends with no less than eight previously unissued tracks from an abandoned second Pye album, 'To Love You', 'I've Got The Best Of You', 'One More Mile', 'Aphrodite', 'Do What You Gotta Do', 'I Love You', 'Girl You Are A Woman Now' & 'Halfway To Where'. 27 tracks. 2001.

CD ReviewsMainstream Pop! Morten Vindberg | Denmark | 04/22/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "I bought this Jefferson collection, because of his past in the great 60's band The Rocking Berries. Unfortunately from the very first tracks, I felt that this was something completely different from the crisp and light feel of the Rocking Berries.
Most tracks are pretty heavily orchestered, and though some songs are actually quite good, most of it sound really dated and of no real significance. Most songs are main-stream pop; a few with a country feel. Jefferson whose real name is Geoff Turton, has a great voice and did a great falsetto with the Rocking Berries, and he did have a few minor hits as Jefferson, and this collection includes all his Pye singles, his Pye album and track recorded for a never released seond album. As stated before, there are good songs, but most of them suffer from dated arrangements, and it was a relief to hear the simple arrangement of the traditional ballad "Shenadoah". Probably my favourite track. Among the previously unreleased tracks "There won't be a way to love you" is quite good. and Turton's own B-side "I've Got to Tell Her" is also above average." |
