5.0 out of 5 stars DUSTY SINGS IT ALL!, April 8, 2005

This review is from: Ev'Rything's Coming Up Dusty (+ Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)

Dusty Springfield has one of the most beautiful, vulnerable and flexible voices in pop music history. Combined with her innate ear for music and a gift for soul and rhythm, she is unparalleled.

This 1965 LP, re-issued in a remastered version with several juicy bonus tracks, is a MUST for collectors as well as curious 60's music fans.

All tracks are wonderful, but stand-outs are a rousing gospel-tinged "Won't Be Long", a perfectly delivered, but rather obscure Bacharach/David tune called "Long After Tonight Is All Over" and the most curiously fun song, "Doodlin'."

Dusty knows how to pick material and this LP shows her voice and all her qualities in the best of all lights.

The most impressive track however, is the most quiet. "I've Been Wrong Before" is the most heartbreaking version of a breathtakingly beautiful Randy Newman song. The melody is so simple, the orchestration is so minimal, but Dusty's vulnerable touch i! s exactly what brings the song to it's full fruition. Don't listen to this track if you've just had your heartbroken, it could be what pushes you over that edge.

All in all, this LP is a wonderful early effort for Miss Springfield, and has hints of what glorious music was yet to come in her career...

In terms of early 60's pop music, it doesn't get better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably Her Best Album Ever!, April 27, 2003

...or at least a close second. Although this album appeared in England in 1965, a year after my discovery of Dusty, it has remained my personal favorite, even over the highly acclaimed 'Dusty in Memphis.' The reason; the choice of songs on this album are consistently first-rate.

This 1998 digitally remastered reissue of the original British album is the one to own. After the album's last track, "Packin' Up," follow eight excellent bonus tracks, recorded in New York around the same vintage. Two of these were minor US hits and four were used for the 1965 UK EP 'Dusty In New York.' The wonderful pictures from the original book-style album are all nicely reproduced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second album is full of quality, January 12, 2005

This review is from: Ev'Rything's Coming Up Dusty (+ Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)

In the sixties, it was normal to leave hit singles off original albums, it being assumed that anybody who bought the album already had the singles, which sold in fat bigger quantities in those days. With eight bonus tracks added to the thirteen on the original vinyl release, hits could have been included but weren't - it presumably being assumed that anybody now buying this already has a greatest hits collection of Dusty's music. (If you don't have one, buy one of those before worrying about this - there are plenty to choose from.) So this album contains no hits but has plenty to offer sixties pop fans generally and Dusty fans in particular.

Of the eight bonus tracks (all recorded in New York), four were released as an EP in the UK while Don't say it baby was a UK B-side. The other three tracks are making their UK debut here. In America, Live it up and Guess who were the two sides of an American single. Both sides in turn bubbled under the top 100 without making the main chart - that's the nearest you get to a Dusty hit in this collection. Here she comes was another American B-side.

Among the tracks here are Dusty's covers of Oh no not my baby (originally an American hit for Maxine Brown, it was a UK hit in 1965 for Manfred Mann and a bigger UK hit in 1973 for Rod Stewart), La Bamba (originally an American hit for Ritchie Valens, it didn't make the UK charts until 1987, when Los Lobos took it all the way to number one), Who can I turn to (a theatrical song that was an American hit for Tony Bennett), Doodling (another theatrical song), It was easier to hurt him (a minor UK hit for Wayne Fontana), I've been wrong before (a UK hit for Cilla Black).

There are many other great songs here, some of which are also covers, but it really doesn't matter whether they are or not. Won't be long (a brilliant up-tempo song), Long after tonight is over (a Bacharach-David song) and That's how heartaches are made (a superb ballad) are among the other highlights.

If you enjoy Dusty's music and want to go beyond her hit singles, you will love this.
