Even if you've already established a collection of Shirley Bassey recordings (or you're just starting one), this CD will be a wise purchase. Mainly concentrating on her hit singles from the 1960s, this album has all the regular Bassey suspects like "Big Spender", "Goldfinger", "Diamonds Are Forever", "This is My Life" and "Never, Never, Never".
One of the rarities which makes this disc very special for collectors is the inclusion of her 1962 cover single of "Far Away", a lovely ballad from composer Lionel Bart's acclaimed musical of the period entitled BLITZ!. Originally sung by Grazina Frame in the show, Ms Bassey really shines with this haunting wartime love ballad. It finds an ideal companion with "As Long As He Needs Me", the soulful 11 o'clock number from Lionel Bart's previous major musical, OLIVER!.
All the tracks come fully-restored from the EMI archives. A top disc for Bassey admirers. [EMI 7243 582507 2 5]
No one sings Bond songs better than Ms. Bassey. Her voice is unmistakable. Shirley can also belt out the best of Broadway stage songs to deliver the magic of their lyrics affecting the listener's appreciation of the experience. I am happy with this purchase. I had ordered the CD last week of October and it arrived at my doorstep 22 days later being shipped from vendor in Europe - maybe not a record seting timeframe, but I appreciate the efficiency of the vendor to deliver the product as promised. The CD was in "new" condition as described on the vendor's website. I would purchase from this vendor again.
I was completely happy and satisfied with the product. The product is everything I imagined and I was pleased with the price and packaging. Great tracks on the record with great quality.
