Album Description

Dusty Springfield was the finest female vocalist of her era, a performer of remarkable emotional resonance whose body of work spans the decades and their attendant musical transformations with a consistency and purity unmatched by any of her contemporaries. This wonderful collection compiles her complete surviving BBC sessions onto one CD for the very first time. The first three tracks, by The Springfields, includes their first single `Dear John' alongside two follow up singles `Swahili Papa' and `Say I Won't Be There'. This session and the following solo session in 1964 have only recently surfaced at the BBC, having been considered `lost' for a number of years. The album racks up five Top 10 hits alongside a string of album tracks and b-sides but most excitingly includes 'To Love Somebody', a cover of the Bee Gees classic that was originally recorded in Atlanta for inclusion in the seminal Dusty In Memphis album however that version was destroyed in a fire. This track and 'Tossing and Turning', 'Up Tight (Everything's Alright)', 'We're Doing Fine', 'Good Loving' and 'Higher and Higher (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me)' only exist in the BBC's archives. 22 tracks. Mercury.

A Wonderful Gift to Starved Dusty Fans.......2007-06-17

Whenever any lost song by the great Dusty Springfield turns up, it's an event for her fans, but when an ENTIRE ALBUM of rare or previously unreleased material hits the marketplace, well, it's a cause for celebration. Okay, so the sound quality on some of these tracks isn't the best, and the performances by the backing musicians might be a bit muddy here and there, or the arrangements similarly cluttered, but none of this takes away from the superb vocal performances. Dusty didn't think of herself as one of the Great Ones, and she was a notorious perfectionist in the studio, but the songs included here show her to be a gifted live performer. There's a rawness and a spontaneity here that makes listening to this a real treat for those of us who mostly know the studio album versions of many of these tunes, and have heard them so many times we have memorized every second of every sound and syllable.

The first three tracks, by The Springfields, did not overwhelm this listener, and impatience began to set in almost immediately. Then, a rushed, almost frantic rendition of "La Bamba" (with poorly pronounced Spanish lyrics) threatened to sink expectations for a sublime Dusty experience. But what followed was a surprising, energetic Motown-styled version of "Tossin' And Turnin'," and these ears began to perk up. An emotionally bare and intimate reading of "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" set up the rest of the CD, and from there it never let up.

Two very different performances of "I Can't Hear You No More" are included here, and it's a toss-up as to which is better. On the first one, the band really gets it going, The Echoes do their backup vocals just like they do on the record, but Dusty's singing is just shy of breaking apart. It's a powerful moment. The second version is a tad slower and more laid back, and has less of a wall of sound behind the vocals. It's also more like the album version. In between, a perfunctory "Wishin' & Hopin'," never a particular favorite of mine, manages to gain some interest by having a slightly kickier beat than the original single, and after that a beautifully sung version of her hit song, "Losing You" keeps this collection on the beam. The bass and drums on this one almost make it better than the original recorded studio version, and the backup vocalists are perfection itself. Another song that doesn't add any new ground is "In The Middle Of Nowhere," but it's typically well done by Dusty, and then she follows it up with a fun performance of the Charley & Inez Foxx hit, "Mockingbird," which features one of the Echoes in place of the second Dusty heard on the album version.

The final ten songs bump this CD up to the stratosphere. "Little By Little" is crystal clear and, I think, much better than the hit single version, which always sounded to me like it was recorded in a bathtub. Soul classics never put to vinyl by Dusty, "Uptight (Everything's Alright)," "We're Doing Fine," "Good Lovin," and (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher And Higher" are all given the typical, devoted Springfield treatment. She clearly loved doing this kind of music. Two of Dusty's best known hits also come in this final stretch, an impassioned "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," and "Son Of A Preacher Man," which may not include the perfection of the Memphis musicians, but Dusty sings it even better here, if that's possible.

For me, there are two transcendent moments on this CD: "Chained To A Memory," which is sung with heartbreaking immediacy, and Robin Gibb's "To Love Somebody," which was recorded during the Memphis sessions but lost in an infamous Atlantic warehouse fire (that also robbed the world of many other great artists' master recordings). It's a truly wonderfu gift to starved Dusty fans everywhere, not only to have this song at last, warts and all, but to have each and every one of these recordings.

I'm sure I'll wish that I could get rid of the announcer's voice at the beginning of many of these tracks, after I've listened a few times, but on the other hand, this is pop music history, so I guess I really don't mind too much. The mono and sometimes mirky recording quality of this CD made me tempted to only give it four stars, but that would be unfair, since these imperfections were anticipated. The songs, and Dusty's one-of-a-kind voice are what make THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS so special.

LIVE DUSTY MAGIC.......2007-06-08

Having collected Dusty's records since the 60's, it's always great to have something different to add to your collection.

Most of Dusty's solo tracks on this cd were released exclusively through the Dusty Springfield Bulletin some years ago but on this new commercially released cd we had the addition of some of The Springfields hit rsongs and how well they sound LIVE!

All the tracks on the cd are from radio broadcasts and the quality is excellent, there are some of Dusty's huge hits like Son Of A Preacherman, Losing You, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myselfg and her worldwide smash You Don't Have To Say You Love Me.
Tracks that Dusty never recorded in a studio such as Tossin' & Turnin' have a great early rawness that really adds to the performance, we also have The Bee Gees hits To Love Somebody - Dusty did record this but it was lost when there was either a fire or flood in the Atlanic studios.
Another point of interest is the inclusion of two different versions of I Can't Hear You (No More).
The Jackie Wilson hit (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher & Higher is also another great performance from Dusty and the whole cd is such a welcome release.
Look out for the companion dvd to this set, it should be released late August so go ahead and treat yourelf to both!

Customer Reviews:

Thank you John........2006-11-29

I think this double album is not only worthy for Pulp fans, but for anyone who loves music. Its value isn`t just musical, it`s also a tribute for beloved John Peel. The inner notes tell us how Jarvis will be eternally grateful with John for introducing him to music he might as well have never got to hear if it weren`t for his amazing contribution to music culture not only in the UK, but worldwide. As for the sessions...well, what can i say, i will obviously get carried away for my immense love for Pulp and Mr.Cocker`s amazing writing skills. One of the most important singers and songwriters of all time, paying homage to one of the greatest music personalities of all time.
And thanks John, cause if it wasn`t for you, maybe Jarv wouldn`t have been in touch with all these huge amount of great music, and inspiration would`ve eventually faded away.
Thanks for everything.

The Peel Sessions Are the Stuff of Legend. They Broke all the Rules and Engaged the Listener with Under-the -gun Mixes of Some of the World's Most Weird, Wonderful and Wired Bands. There was a Mythology to Peel Sessions: Musicians Went Into the Studio to Record their Three Or Four Track Session, Only to Emerge a Few Hours Later Blinking and Dazed, Having Made a Helluva Racket that Would Go Down in History as the Making of the Band.

Album Details

A Capella Group Singing is an Art that Separates the Vocal Masters from the Second-rate. With No Bass Player to Anchor the Pitch and No Drummer to Control the Rhythm, the Singers Need to have the Strictest Musical Virtues: Faultless Intonation and Time, a Harmonic Sense to Equal Any Orchestral Section Player, the Ability to Subordinate the Self to an Ensemble that Thinks and Hears as One. Few Groups, If Any, have Taken the Art of a Capella to Such Dizzying Heights as the Singers Unlimited. Between 1970 and 1980, this Quartet of American Jingle and Studio Singers Recorded Fifteen LPs in Germany. Their Three a Capella Albums, Gathered in this Set, Are Milestones of their Kind: A Wedding of Extraordinary Vocal Technique and Studio Technology that Could Never Be Replicated Live. Four Voices Became a Symphony of Overdubbed Lines, with So Many Intricacies of Harmony, Rhythm, and Dynamics that Only a Musician Could Pinpoint all the Subtleties.

Customer Reviews:

Great Listening.......2007-05-12

Since the 1970's, when the Singers Unlimited recorded with Oscar Peterson, I have loved this group. The A Capella numbers on this 2 disc album are great for background music, but they rate better as foreground listening. Highly recommended.

Big Music comes in Small Packages........2007-01-09

Are you ready for one of the most wonderful collection of soulful music ever..Let me say quite frankly that this is music that satisfies the soul however there is a catch, you must have a soul. Disregard any negative reviews from people who obviously don't have any real soul.

Fans can never be objective..........2006-05-06

From the OBJECTIVE reviewer..."Shine on Through" is the one decent song, but Elton and pop disco don't work well together.

Elton shows serious soul..........2004-11-05

Jimmy Wade's review was right on - this one is a hidden gem from Elton. Of the tracks on the EP, only "Mama Can't Buy You Love" went in the Top 40 at the time, though recently the reissued "Are You Ready For Love?" topped the charts in the US and England. What's most interesting about the disc is the range of material. As Jimmy notes, it's not really a "disco" album - just pure, good Philly Soul, most of the tracks done w/ the Spinners (I think they play on all the tracks, though they don't sing on all of them) and all produced by Thom Bell. The mixes of the songs originally included on the vinyl 3 song EP in 1979 are (as Jimmy points out) NOT the Elton John/Clive Franks mixes, but the original Bell mixes. The complete EJ/Clive Franks mixes can, however, be found as addl. tracks on the CD single for "The Last Song", and "Are You Ready For Love?" and "Three Way Love Affair" are on the recent single edition of "Are You Ready...?" Pick it up and give it a spin - it's a lot of fun and very well done. Check out "Country Love Song" and "Nice and Slow" - these would have been great singles at the time as well! Enjoy!

Thank you Amazon.com!.......2004-09-23

I would like to Thank Amamzon.com for sending me this materpiece. It is, in my opinion, one of his best albums. It does geta reputation of beinga disco album but listening closely there's only really a definite Gospel feel on every track. You can hear his voice progress from his young days into his latter day lower register voice through the course of this album. I like how even though it's mid-late seventies R&B there are other styles that can be heard in the mix. I like the strings, they give it a majectic feel. There is not that much synthesiser, except on the track three way loev affair. There is a definite disco feel to some of the songs, others are more like straight R&B. My favourite two songs are Three way love affair and Ncie and Slow.

Elton John meets Philly Soul... how cool is that?.......2004-06-22

This should be one of the best-known and most beloved moments in Elton John's career - but it isn't. Two iconic sounds of the 70's combine and the result is rich, buttery ear candy - but it gets consistently glossed-over when people run down the handful of enduring pop music from the disco era. Elton makes his bid to be one of the great blue-eyed-soul singers of his time - and few even notice. Elton would quickly move on from here, but echoes of this benchmark can be heard in all that follows. A true forgotten classic in every sense.

Album Description

Two CDs featuring the '90s coolest Britpop band's infamous Peel Sessions. The stamp of approval from John Peel was always the kitemark of a great band, and Gene repeatedly rose to the honor, recording four sessions during the mid-to-late '90s that wonderfully capture their blossoming career. Disc One features their in-studio sessions, the first, laid down in December 1995, featuring stark early versions of tracks from their sophomore album Drawn To The Deep End. The second, in February 1998, previewed songs from their third album, Revelations. Disc Two's sessions were recorded during live shows. The first at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in January 1999, the second in August of the same year, in the Maida Vale studios on John Peel's birthday, Both sets are awash with the rough passion and tender compassion that infused Gene's entire canon; fitting testaments all to the 90's most elegant lost sons. Universal. 2006.
