Ace's new compilation THE JACK NITZSCHE STORY: HEARING IS BELIEVING 1962-1979 has been gaining airplay and rave reviews worldwide over the last few weeks. If you haven't heard it yet, don't delay any further..

**** Comments Andrew Loog Oldham in the linernotes, "It's more than just the famed string lines , which we all know have given him legend status , it's the way he got the most out of [the song]. No one with ears needs to tell me Jack Nitzsche was brilliant." As the first half of the album's title says , Hearing Is Believing"
MOJO (May 2005)

***** "Perhaps what's most impressive about this flabbergasting 26-track testament to Nitzsche's genius, both as a technician and a composer, is that it makes such an effortless claim for his place in the pantheon of all-time greats even, in the absence of his biggest triumphs with Young and the Stones..."
UNCUT

***** "An outstanding account of an extraordinary talent."
THE INDEPENDENT (April 1st 2005)

"a catalogue of tracks that defined a musical era"
OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY

"Jack Nitzsche is the unsung hero of 1960s pop."
DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Nitzsche conjured an atmosphere and mystique entirely his own"
LOS ANGELES TIMES (April 17, 2005)

**** "Nitzsche was a perfectionist who was able to inspire bravura performances from all his artists whether it was Doris Day singing Move Over Darling or Marianne Faithfull on Sister Morphine."
The Times (April 16, 2005)

"a marvellously eclectic and all-encompassing overview"
Music Week

"Even if the name Jack Nitzsche is meaningless, there's no doubt you've been touched by his work"
NY Daily News
