These recordings are by now in 2015 well ensconced within my own personal Dusty playlists since the turn of the century particularly Haunted & Natchez Trace. However in 2015 it is a pleasure to see them in the one place they were intended for - an album - many thanks to Real Gone Music for doing so.
There's nothing more can be said about these recordings as they have been available for some time in the public domain - superb well crafted songs produced by the talent that is Jeff Barry. As a thread weaving its way through Dusty's late 60's early 70's releases - this release does complete that `missing' gap in 1971 making for a sublime trio of LP's starting in 1969 with Dusty In Memphis followed by From Dusty with Love in 1970 and now a natural conclusion - Faithful. There's a further gap in 1972 - Philip Records' See all her faces - although not the `hodgepodge' affair as Joe Marchese described this album - but - an ill conceived compilation nevertheless. The situation was rectified with Cameo in 1973 ( with the exception of the notoriously bizarre artwork - it has to be seen to be believed ) but there the thread broke and came to an abrupt halt during the summer 1974 recordings for the Elements / Longing project until quite a few years later.
The running order of the 13 tracks on this CD works incredibly well including a 1971 US only b side. The accompanying booklet is informative with period pictures - it would have been great to see a complete interview with Jeff Barry rather than I suspect the brief telephone interview contained within consisting of just mere snippets of detail on this recording session. ( A more comprehensive version - just - of this interview is available on Rhino's 1999 Dusty in Memphis deluxe CD where some of these recordings feature as bonus tracks. ) Also - I wonder what `ideas' Atlantic Records had in mind for the artwork of this intended album. I'm not too sure at what stage during 1971 when the pictures contained on the cover and within the booklet were taken exactly and for what purpose. Perhaps Paul Howes - whose absence is surprising from this CD - can give a more detailed answer. Certainly the cover of the CD is very '1971' but rather in the mould of the budget range from Decca's World of.... or MFP's The Most of...
Here's a question - did Dusty suit being a red head? - I suspect not.
The very fact that this CD is released in 2015 is testament to the enduring appeal and in some cases obsession (including myself) with Ms Springfield - both her life and recordings. Next on the agenda is Come For A Dream - The U.K. Sessions 1970-1971 to be released next month - I rest my case..........
