This cd was digitally recorded in 1982 and is one of her best recordings to date. Produced and arranged by Johnny Harris who also produced her best recordings of the 70's. Best tracks include All By Myself, Don't Cry Outloud, This Masquerade, Can You Read My Mind and her version of Michael Jackson's He's Out Of my Life. Released in the UK as "Love Songs" in reached no. 48 in the pop charts.

I enjoyed all the songs on this album. But in particular, I loved the way Shirley, stylist that she is, sang "If and When"; this is my favorite song on the album. I've listened to it repeatedly and will still continue to do so. Her voice range is incredible (as always). She really puts her heart and soul into every song that she sings. I've always admired this incredible entertainer and wished that she'd do a concert in the U.S. again.

Shirley Bassey is a singer of the first order and belongs to the group of entertainers whose charisma turns every stage of the world in to a starstudded place, and whose powerful voice brings the walls to tremble. Just the announcement of a Bassey appearance on stage is a sell-out everywhere. There are few singers today that can stand a comparison to the manifold impressions a Shirley Bassey represents, and whose status quo can be entitled "STAR" ! That is why I always long for a release of this album.

I used to have this album on vinyl (issued as "All By Myself") and I was very glad it was reissued on CD. All songs are bearing Beassey's signature and exquisite style, which make all the renditions beautifully unique. A display of a grate and very rare gifted voice, originality, taste backed by impeccable arrangements.
