About Us

THE REAL REAL GONE STORY

In 1993, two Ohio boys, Gordon Anderson and Gabby Castellana, both separately started businesses—Collectors' Choice Music and Hep Cat Records --that were to become two of the most important outlets for buyers and sellers of vintage music recordings. Now, 18 years later, they have joined forces to launch Real Gone Music, a reissue label dedicated to serving both the collector community and the casual music fan with a robust release schedule combining big-name artists with esoteric cult favorites.

Real Gone Music is a music company dedicated to combing the vaults for sounds that aren't just gone—they're REAL GONE.

What makes a piece of music real gone? It can be from any era, any genre, from superstar acts or the most overlooked artist—but if it's REAL GONE, it's an essential recording coming to you with excellent sound and packaging, designed to make you feel like you did the first time you bought an album or single at your local record store.

And, unique among American indie reissue labels, our release schedule is going to feature about ten titles per month. Because there is still a lot of music out there to rediscover, savor and celebrate.

"Get real gone…for a change!"

Editorial Reviews

Having issued collections of her lost 1971 Jeff Barry-produced sessions (Faithful) and her entire 1970-1971 U.K. sessions (Come for a Dream), we have made chronicling the hallowed early '70s period of Dusty Springfield's career something of a mission here at Real Gone Music. And we have saved what just might be the best for last--this collection brings together, for the first time ever, all of the historic recordings made by Dusty at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia with Gamble-Huff Productions for Atlantic Records. The 17 selections cover the ten 1969 recordings issued on Springfield's 1970 album A Brand New Me-- including the hit title song--plus 7 additional tracks from 1970 including the single "I Wanna Be a Free Girl," outtakes not issued until the 1990s on various compilations, and a previously unreleased track, "Sweet Charlie ." Additionally, because former iterations of this material have not been sonically quite up to snuff, each track is newly-remixed from the original multi-track masters by Ted Carfrae! Liner notes by Joe Marchese and rare images from Dusty's own collection complete this invaluable look at the seductive Ms. Springfield's foray into the Philly Soul sound. Put this together with our other Real Gone Dusty retrospectives and you have the full picture of Dusty's recordings from 1969-1971 that immediately followed her Dusty In Memphis pinnacle! 1969 recordings from original album: 1. Brand New Me 2. Never Love Again 3. Bad Case Of The Blues 4. The Star Of My Show 5. Let’s Talk It Over 6. Lost 7. Silly, Silly Fool 8. Let Me In Your Way 9. Joe 10. Let’s Get Together Soon Additional 1970 recordings: 11. I Wanna Be A Free Girl 12. Something For Nothing 13. Summer Love 14. Cherished 15. The Richest Girl Alive 16. Goodbye 17.

DUSTY AT THE PEAK OF HER VOCAL POWERS.

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

DUSTY, who was known for slow, careful vocal recording; sometimes a word or phrase at a time, cut THESE vocals LIVE in the studio while the rhythm section was recording, Thom Bell told me. (For perspective) she cut NO vocals in Memphis for that LP, cutting the vocals slowly in NYC.
The material on this album is not on the level of "Memphis" , but what album is?
In MY opinion, this album is DUSTY at her vocal PEAK; she must have thought so, also, in that she was so secure about cutting her vocals.
As for all the bitching about the mixes and tracking; I'm reminded of listening to records with many music legends in their homes and seeing that they had a $29 record player, or listened on a AM radio station. Soul cuts through the airwaves; the other is tech/geek BS, in my opinion.
it's fascinating to see the Philly sound at it's earliest; some of the tracks..."Free Girl" , for example, are almost bizarre...music from another planet....Who were these aimed at? Some of the additional cuts are very strong, and I'm grateful to Thom Bell, Gamble & Huff for doing what they could to give DUSTY to the world. The title track is, simply, one of the greatest recordings ever. Dusty's stature continues to grow with time; sorry that she can't enjoy her stellar reputation; not just England's star, but, arguably, the best, most soulful, pop singer ever.

Dusty in Philadelphia

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017

This expanded version of "A Brand New Me" is well worth the purchase. Real Gone Records really deliver quality sound. Others have spoken of Dusty-isms heard on this CD. Personally, and I may be in the minority, but I like this album more than "Dusty in Memphis". Dusty, like Lulu, only did two albums for Atlantic. (Lulu's two albums are on a two albums on one disc). All of Dusty's albums have been released on CD including her US and UK versions. I am sure that they are now out of print but this is a first for "A Brand New Me" to get royal treatment. This is not the 60s Dusty but a more mature and soulful Dusty. I recommend it highly.

Divine Dusty

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019

First, I simply don’t hear the “horrible production” that’s been cited in reviews. There’s some imbalance as it’s heavy on voice, bass, and strings...but it’s still a damn sight better than the original CD issue. Beyond that, for heaven’s sake, it’s Dusty with Gamble and Huff in Philadelphia. If Dusty in Memphis is heaven itself, this is still pretty divine territory. In some ways, I prefer some of these numbers. Finally, damn, I can listen to Dusty singing the phone book and I’d still be enchanted.

A Brand New (and Significantly Remixed) Me

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

The folks at Real Gone Music have been an absolute class act with a series of sterling releases that have helped put some clarity on the rather schizophrenic trans-Atlantic recording schedule Dusty Springfield maintained at the turn of the 1970's, during which a plethora of the material she recorded either went unreleased in the United States, or unreleased altogether. Many of these songs have shown up as bonus tracks on a variety of different CD reissues over the years, which has created some confusion among casual Dusty fans.The Real Gone albums have helped to alleviate this confusion.

First, the 2015 release "Faithful" collected all of the recordings Dusty did with Jeff Barry in 1971 for her aborted third album with Atlantic Records, and put them all on one album for the first time. Next was "Come For a Dream: The UK Sessions", which compiled the various recordings Dusty did in her native England (for Phillips Records) between 1970-1971, some of which had turned up on her 1972 UK-only album "See All Her Faces", and several which went unreleased for years afterward.

Now we have the new release, "A Brand New Me: The Complete Philadelphia Sessions", a compilation which includes all the tracks from what happens to be one of my favorite Dusty albums, 1970's "A Brand New Me" ("From Dusty With Love" overseas), recorded with Philly Soul legends Gamble & Huff and Thom Bell, along with the seven more tracks she recorded in Philly after that album's release. The only track from these additional sessions that saw release at that time was "I Wanna Be a Free Girl" (it stalled outside the Top 100). Five other tracks remained unreleased for decades, and then turned up haphazardly on various releases...and then there's one song that, until now, has never been released. EVER.

So, one of my favorite Dusty albums is getting the Real Gone treatment in a sweet re-release, one in which nearly all of the tracks have feature between 20 seconds to a full minute of additional content (usually Dusty repeating the chorus or ad-libbing), and a wonderful brand new track.

Why not 5 stars?

Unlike Faithful and Come For a Dream, this new disc features not just remastering, but remixing of all the tracks. EXTENSIVE remixing.
Normally I love hearing alternate takes and alternate versions of songs, but in this case the new mixes don't always work. The flutes and strings are turned up loud, REALLY loud, on "Bad Case of the Blues", to the song's detriment. The French horn that is a staple in many early Philly Soul recordings - most famously opening up the Delfonics classic "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" - was prominently featured in the original mix of "I Wanna Be a Free Girl", but it seems to be drowned out in the new mix on this album. Even the buoyant title track suffers - during the extended fadeout we are treated to the sublime sound of Dusty's continued ad-libs, but unfortunately she's battling with some strings that have been turned up very loudly. Of the later tracks, the new mixing does no favors to "Goodbye" (the haunting piano riff which drives the song is badly muted) or "Something For Nothing" (which strips Dusty's double-tracked vocal to a single, but also waters down the percussion, sapping the song of its energy and punch).

It's not all bad; Dusty's voice is crisp, clear and (more often than not) center stage. And at times the new mixes help the song- "Lost" has never sounded so fresh and exciting, and "The Star of My Show", "Let's Talk it Over" and "Never Love Again" also sound great on this new release.
Also, the extended fadeouts overall are wonderful, although at times they do hint at the frenetic pace in which they were recorded (Dusty put down all of her vocals for the Brand New Me album between September 19th and 23rd, 1969). Whereas Dusty would sometimes live with a song for months before recording it, that was a luxury she didn't have in Philadelphia.

But while these new mixes make it an overall mixed bag for me, the set is still valuable enough to merit 4 Stars, mostly on the strength of the extended fadeouts....and the new track, a shimmering, otherworldly charmer titled "Sweet Charlie", where Dusty provides a stellar vocal. It's a gross injustice that this song has languished so long. Fortunately, it now takes it's rightful place alongside other gems in Dusty's canon...and even if some other songs in this particular set have been dressed up in a manner that doesn't always fit, this is still a MORE than worthwhile purchase for Dusty fans.

A must-have for fans of Dusty or Philly Soul

Reviewed in Canada on February 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

Those that are concerned about the songs being extensively remixed need to remember that this disc is just as much a celebration of the Philadelphia Sound in the early days as it is a Dusty CD. The contribution of Philly soul in pop music is very significant, just as Dusty's singing style has been incredibly impactful. Here we can appreciate both for the first time. The various backing instruments are expertly brought to the forefront, and they swirl and dance with Dusty's sultry voice in a new way. The songs are really stirring and production values were high. Those with any interest in Philly Soul or Dusty Springfield need to hear this!

WOW......THIS REMIX IS UNBELIEVABLY FANTASTIC.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

First time for me to write a review, but having lived with this new remixed version, I feel compelled to write! I got to know Jerry Wexler shortly before he died. I was relentless with my questions about Dusty. I told him that I'm her biggest fan and having listened to me ask endless questions about his time with her, he said that I wasn't a fan, but a true acolyte. He was right. The point of me telling you this, is that over the years I've bought every single release from all over the world. I know every song intimately. Every now and then a remix has appeared, along with various rare tracks that have been a source of constant joy. However, this remix is the first time that I've been rendered speechless and listened in absolute awe! It's simply sensational. . If you're familiar with the original album and like myself have listened to it endless times over the years, then this new version will blow you away. It's faultless and fabulous. The long fades alone are worth the price, but when you hear the way the orchestra and Dusty's voice have been elevated and fleshed out so to speak.....well just listen. You'll love it! If Real Gone Music are reading this, then PLEASE grab the master tapes for Cameo and See All Her Faces and do the same again! While you're at it, please source the master tape for Dusty singing the theme to the TV show Six Million Dollar Man please! I need it on CD! I already submitted a review, but it did t get published, so apologies if both of them suddenly appear. For some reason the first review didn't get through!

A Brand New, Brand New Me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

'A Brand New Me' has long been my favourite album by Dusty Springfield. With this reissue it has become one of my favourite albums by any artist, which, as someone who owns over 5,000 CDs is no small compliment. 'A Brand New Me' has been remixed from the original eight track master tapes into something even more sublime than it already was; I can't even begin to imagine what joy the producers and mixers must have felt on hearing for the first time all the ad-libs Dusty had recorded which were left off the versions as originally released. It is impossible to explain quite how phenomenal this album sounds. If I had any complaint it would be that the sound of Dusty clearing her throat on the track 'Let's Get Together Soon' has been removed - those who know this song will know it well; for those who don't, Dusty even cleared her throat in tune. But that doesn't detract from the version on this reissue, there is always the original. The long and short of it is, this reissue is, to me, the most important Dusty Springfield reissue, simply for the fact that we get to hear vocals which have been languishing in Atlantic's vaults since 1970. Add to that the fact that it includes the unreleased song, 'Sweet Charlie', (reminiscent of 'Never Love Again' if more complex structurally) which was believed to have been lost, then this reissue is an essential purchase. Thank you, Real Gone Music, this reissue has made my year.
