Jaki Graham / The Studio Albums 1985-1998: seven-disc box set

By Paul Sinclair

Edsel will next month release a box set collecting the studio output of English singer Jacki Graham who scored six consecutive top 20 hits in the mid 1980s.

The Studio Albums 1985-1998 is a seven-CD, one-album-per-disc box set. The early years saw Graham enjoy much success with EMI, particularly with the Heaven Knows and Breaking Away long-players. From the mid-nineties onwards, she had a deal with Japan’s Avex Records, and this box sees the first official UK release for all four of those records (Real Life, Hold On, Rhythm Of Life and My Life).

This 86-track anthology comes with a booklet containing extensive notes by music writer Justin Kantor enriched with new interviews with Jaki Graham and her producers.

The Studio Albums 1985-1998 is released on 10 July 2015.
