Jason Crest

Cherry Red now represent the rights for the recordings of psychedelic pop band Jason Crest, who hailed from Tonbridge, Kent. Between 1967 and 1969, they issued five singles, which have been frequently compiled since then.

Key tracks include ‘Black Mass’, ‘Turquoise Tandem Cycle’, ‘Place In The Sun’ and a cover of The Move‘s ‘(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree’,

A version of their fourth single, ‘Waterloo Road’, reached No. 1 in France when singer Joe Dassin reworked the song as ‘Les Champs-Élysées’.

FOXY FRIENDS

Noosha Fox and friends injected some sophisticated glamour into the UK charts of the mid-1970s. Fox‘s ‘Only You Can’ peaked at No. 3 while ‘S-S-S Single Bed‘ peaked one place lower. ‘If I Point At The Moon’, taken from their 1975 self-titled album, is a lilting, sublime pop ditty that sounds remarkably timeless. The song is featured in the US drama mini-series A Friend Of The Family, which aired recently on the Peacock network.
