After leaving the Springfield's in the early 60's, Dusty Springfield sought out to make her own brand of blue eyed soul and the result is her debut album A GIRL CALLED DUSTY, which was released in 1964. I have no problem saying this is certainly the best pop album of that decade. It set the stage for Dusty, showing a soulful woman with much talent. Highlights among the album include the strong and upfront first single "I Only Want To Be With You". She does a wonderful cover of Carole King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", the lighthearted "Wishin' and Hopin", a country tinged "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa", and dramatic songs like "I Wish I'd Never Loved You", "All Cried Out", "Anyone Who Had A Heart", and more. There's also a few remixes and some bonus tracks for added value, but its the true album which is the gem, and definately a good jumping point to start your Dusty Springfield collection, to get a feeling of where her solo career began.

it's interesting to hear this album after some of her later works. for a 60s female debut album, this has some excellent tracks that can and has stood the test of time. dusty's voice is huge on most of these tracks, and although at this point she hasn't gained full control of her voice, it's still great to listen to because it captures a dusty springfield that is younger, more innocent and giddy, quite lovable actually, although even at this point her interpretation of songs are generally considered beyond her years (she was 25 when she recorded this album). in any case, there are some really swinging tunes in this one. personal fave is "mockingbird" (where she kind of duets with herself) and the 4th track with the really long name. it's very swingin'.

This is the 1997 remaster of Dusty Springfield's breakthrough 1964 debut A GIRL CALLED DUSTY. The album features many bonus tracks, which were recorded around the same time as the album. Some of the bonus tracks are more contemporary like "Everyday I Have to Cry," " "Can I Get a Witness," and "All Cried Out," along with slightly less familiar songs such as the "I Wish I'd Never Loved You," "Once Upon a Time," and "Summer Is Over."
Those songs, coupled with the original album tracks, make for an impressive release. The big hit from the album was "I Only Wanna Be With You", which was Dusty's first hit. The album features a diverse group of cover songs including "My Coloring Book" (Barbra Streisand), "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa" (Gene Pitney), "You Don't Own Me" (Lesley Gore), "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (Carole King), and others.
The songs on this album are timeless, and Dusty made them her own. Some highlights include "I Only Wanna Be With You", "Mockingbird", "You Don't Own Me", "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa", "Nothing", "Anyone Who Had A Heart", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and many others. Her first album, and one of the best of her entire career.

I always try and find the best possible recordings/transfers,by this I mean the tracks must be stereo where possible and properly remastered,this is sadly often not the case with older pop music.

This album,from the UK,is very interesting because when the engineers tied to put it together,they could not find some of the original stereo master tapes,so they used what tapes they could find and remixed them into stereo.This means some of the tracks are slightly different from the original 60's hits versions.Listen to "I Only Want To Be With You",Dusty's voice is not like the original,it's better if anything because all the double tracking and screechy echo effect on the 60's version is not there.Dusty's voice is so great,it does not benifit from gimmicks,only people that cannot sing need such effects.

This CD is one of very few that has stereo versions of her first hits.All tracks are stereo except for track 20,The Summer Is Over and the quality is excellent for tracks approaching 50 years old.

The only alternative I have found is a quite rare CD issued in USA,it's the USA equivalent so it has similar(not identical) tracks, "Stay Awhile-I Only Want to Be with You/Dusty",HOWEVER YOU NEED THE 1997 TARAGON VERSION,WHICH IS ALL STEREO,NOT THE 1999 PHILIPS VERSION,as it appears between these two dates the stereo master tapes went missing,so the later Philips version is not all stereo.I found my copy on Amazon.com (I live in the UK))

For more info on Dusty's albums I suggest you visit a well known online free encyclopedia,you will find the correct info with a quick google.

To sum up,either of the CD's mentioned here are thoroughly recommended,but try the mp3 samples and make up your own mind.

Not soul in the bump-and-grind "unh! good god!" manner, and not this look how good I can sing manner favored by today's songstresses (Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera couldn't hold a single note steady if their careers depended on it). DUsty can knock 'em dead. Points off for so much of the "top of the pops" of the time...who needs to hear "You Don't Own Me" again? Some of the choices are inspired, though...her version of Lee Dorsey's "DO-Re-Mi" is an unexpected surprise, and her hits "Wishin' and Hopin'", "I Only Want to Be WIth You" (in a different mix) and "All Cried OUt" are here.
