Jackie...Plus is a disc lovingly assembled by Rhino Handmade. The opening twelve tracks are from Jackie, a 1972 album released by Jackie DeShannon. That album is a mix of songs penned by DeShannon and those penned by other talents, many of whom had yet to be recognized as the big stars they would become. The biggest hit single from the album was "Vanilla Olay," although DeShannon's take on Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" attracted a little attention. That one is a standout. Excellent rendition of an excellent song. "Anna Karina" and a version of John Prine's "Paradise" are some of the other top tracks from the first half of this disc.
The second half, tracks 13-24, are two b-sides from singles released from Jackie plus ten previously unreleased outtakes from 1972-1973 sessions. Four of these are some interesting collaborations with Van Morrison. One of my favourites here is "Hydra."
The set comes with very informative liner notes that also include some nice photos. The original LP's front and back art are reproduced as the front and back art of the liner notes.
