Finally it's here & it sounds better than my vinyl from the 70s. Shirley Bassey is in excellent form on her 4th studio album of the 70s. It is a potent and satisfying blend of big ballads and contemporary pop songs. Check out Jacque Brel's dramatic ballad IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE as Shirley's version ranks among the very best. In fact all the songs are given Shirley's usual distinctive interpretations aided by excellent musical arrangements. Buy this - you will have no regrets!

In the league of the great American belters, but with a voice of truly operatic proportions, Bassey gives the deepest meaning to songs about unrequited love or affairs ending that gives the listener not only pure musical pleasure but also manages to convey some of the lady's strength, bravery and heart. This beautifully remastered CD shows Bassey at her best and whoever is aching over love pains will find heartwarming solace in her rendition of "The Way of love" and "I'll do it all again". if a singer's art is to transcend daily emotions and turn them into something sublime or grandiose, then Bassey does it even better than Liza or Barbra. This lady doesn't die, she soars and takes the listener along with he.
