Just when you thought that the perfect album and its CD equivalent couldn't get any better, along comes Rhino with this 25-song deluxe edition of Dusty in Memphis. The new transfers on the original Dusty in Memphis material are sharper and brighter, but also warmer than the original 1992 CD -- the finely nuanced richness of Dusty Springfield's voice on the softer numbers, such as "In the Land of Make Believe" and "Windmills of Your Mind," is captured perfectly on this new edition, where th   [ read more ]

Stay Awhile-I Only Want to Be with You/Dusty combines the 24 songs off of Dusty Springfield's first two U.S.-released albums, and comprises a ton of great material, all remastered from what sure sound like first-generation tapes. The sound is vivid and, at times, shattering, in the best Phil Spector sense of that word, as Springfield's bigger-than-life voice fills every corner of the room and your soul. At least as worthwhile as any hits collection that exists on her. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Gui   [ read more ]

Is Ultimate Collection the best Springfield collection? Well, no; it's missing several of her '60s British hits, like "Losing You," "In the Middle of Nowhere," "Some of Your Lovin'," "Little by Little," "Goin' Back," and "I'll Try Anything." Those are all found on Polygram's The Very Best of Dusty Springfield, the wholly '60s-oriented anthology that remains a superior overview of her best material. If you want something that extends a little wider chronologically, though, this    [ read more ]

Dusty Springfield was perhaps the greatest pop singer of the 1960s, and virtually everything she recorded was stellar; that doesn't mean that more than a handful of her biggest records still earn radio airplay, however, and even the three-disc Dusty Springfield Anthology leaves off any number of B-sides, album cuts, and unreleased performances critical to a complete overview of her career. This entry in the consistently excellent Lounge Legends series is a superb addition to the Springfield c   [ read more ]

Is this a valuable release for Dusty Springfield completists? Certainly; none of the 18 songs are too easy to find elsewhere, with seven of them never having appeared in the U.S. before this CD, and eight of them previously unreleased anywhere. Do they comprise a musically strong and pleasurable release? Overall, no, even by the standards of rare Springfield material. In a reversal of the way such anthologies usually work, it leads off with the seven least interesting items, all culled from soundtrack   [ read more ]

Where Am I Going is a phenomenal album by Dusty Springfield, and though it doesn't have any American chart hits made famous by the icon, it would have been a blessing had every single performance here conquered the Top 40. The British version contains 12 tracks, while the U.S. counterpart, entitled The Look of Love, has 11, four of which are not on the vinyl version of this: "Small Town Girl," "What It's Gonna Be," "Look of Love," and "Give Me Time." That means the U.K. fans got five tr   [ read more ]

Mercury records, which controls the Phillips records catalog, has compiled this Dusty Springfield set by referring to Springfield's U.K. and U.S. chart successes from 1964 to 1967, then licensing her two biggest hits for Atlantic records, "Son of a Preacher Man" and "A Brand New Me." The result, in terms of song selection, is an excellent 20-song, 57-minute disc that includes most of her best-known material. (The major omission is "The Windmills of Your Mind," a U.S. Top 40 hit, whic   [ read more ]
