Editorial Reviews

This CD is an out of print collectible! It is the 1997 Taragon release. Catalog TARCD-1025. Two classic albums on one CD. There is a hole punch through the UPC.

5.0 out of 5 stars DUSTY HITS THE CHARTS!, October 4, 2002

This review is from: Stay Awhile-I Only Want to Be with You/Dusty (Audio CD)

A 2 for 1 compilation of Dusty Springfield's first 2 albums ever released in the U.S. Together with The Beatles, Dusty Springfield helped usher in the British invasion of the mid-60s.

What is stunning to notice in these albums, is the first steps of what would become a brilliant solo career. Dusty may have started solo with Rock/Pop..but she quickly showed throughout the 60s and beyond, that she had a voice capable of singing anything in any style.

There isn't a bad track on this 2-for-1, but the careful listener would be wise to go beyond the big hits ("I Only Want To Be With You", "Stay Awhile", "Wishin' & Hopin'", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself") and focus instead on some wonderful, yet often overlooked tracks like her glorious cover of the Velvelettes' "Needle In A Haystack", the maturity beyond her years of "I Wish I'd Never Loved You" and the jumpy/contagious teenage bop of "Everyday I Have To Cry".

Sometimes it's hard to believe the same person who sings with the naivete required for "Wishin' & Hopin'" can turn around and deliver something as steamingly adult as the bluesy "Don't You Know".

Only Dusty had that emotional range at such a young age. And she also had the pipes to back it up.

If you like your pop music with emotional variety, vocal prowess, and an astute sense of rhythm & blues, it doesn't get much better than Dusty Springfield.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disregard the Bad Packaging . . ., February 2, 2007

This review is from: Stay Awhile-I Only Want to Be with You/Dusty (Audio CD)

...because this is an incredible remastering job. I have a lot of Dusty Springfield sets, including the 1999 US CD releases and the original UK 1997 ones as well, and I can say without a doubt that this is the cleanest, most sonically-brilliant of them all. Granted, it's not for everyone, and mono purists might get bent out of shape at the idea. But the Taragon engineers went back and remixed real stereo versions (not those horrible fake stereo splits common on "oldies" sets) from the original Philips master tapes, and the results are nothing short of perfection. It's shame that it's marketed as a "budget" item because many will pass right over it, unless you're already familiar with the Taragon label's work (they did a great Peggy March disc as well in the same way). Grab this one however you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!!! Dusty never sounded better, July 25, 2005

If you like Dusty (like I do) get a copy of this Taragon release. This is one of the best sounding remasters I've heard in a long time. Dusty's voice is so clear in the mix you will get chills. I had Polygram's version of the Dusty CD and it just doesn't compare. I don't know what the folks over at Taragon did, but it sounds like Dusty is right in the room with you!!! Search out a copy of this cd (on Taragon....not sure if this is still available) for the sound alone you will be glad you did! I don't even need to talk about the actual albums....its Dusty!
