Dusty Springfield dürfte eine von Großbritanniens einflussreichsten (Soul-)Sängerinnen und Stilikonen gewesen sein. Ihre Stärke lag dabei gesanglich eher im Understatement. Sie brauchte nicht die Oktaven hoch und runter singen, da reichte es auch schon mal wenn sie einen Song nur hinhauchte. Für mich eine ihrer gesanglich besten Leistungen ist ihre Version von Randy Newmans Song I Think It's Going To Rain Today.
Erfolgreich war sie hauptsächlich in den 60ern und hatte dann noch ein paar Hits Ende der 80er. Ihre erfolgreichsten Songs sind hier fast alle vertreten. Darunter einige hervorragende Versionen von Goffin/King- oder Bacharach-Songs. Ab den 70ern gelang ihr nicht immer alles, musikalisch war das auch nicht immer stilsicher, da probierte sich auch mal an Disco oder rockigeren Songs. Ein Comeback schaffte sie erst Ende der 80er mit den Pet Shop Boys, die ihr noch ein gutes poppiges Album produzierten, bevor sie dann viel zu früh starb.
Zu kritisieren ist an der vorliegenden Songauswahl vielleicht, dass nicht alle Singles vertreten sind. In den Linernotes wird häufig auf verschiedene Singles eingegangen, die man dann gerne gehört hätte und vergeblich sucht. Auch fehlt mir die erste Version von The Look Of Love aus dem Film Casino Royale, Spooky und Dustys wunderbare Version von Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa.
Das sehr edel gestaltete Ear Book lohnt sich vor allem wegen des wunderbaren Buches. Es bietet einen Text über Dustys Karriere, lobende Worte über Dusty von verschiedenen Künstlern und Wegbegleitern, Linernotes zu jedem vertretenen Song, Diskographien bzgl. Alben und Singles sowie Covermotive. Die Stilikone Dusty wird natürlich auch auf vielen großen Fotos gewürdigt.
Das Remastering ist gut gelungen, selbst bei den ganz alten Songs.
Fazit:
Für den Gelegenheitshörer mag dieses Set mit über 5 Stunden Musik bestimmt zu viel sein, da ist man mit der CD Dusty-The Very Best Of (24 Songs) oder der Doppel-CD Gold (51 Songs) auch bestens bedient. Wenn man aber etwas tiefer eintauchen will in die Karriere von Dusty Springfield ist dieses Set sehr zu empfehlen. Das Buch ist sowieso mit den ganzen herrlichen Kleidern und Frisuren die Schau.
Häufig sind die Ear Books im Angebot erhältlich (ich habe nur ca. 15 € hier bei Amazon dafür gezahlt), da kann man dann bedenkenlos zuschlagen. Ein paar Songs fehlen zwar vielleicht, trotzdem kann ich aber (vor allem wegen des Buches) nur die volle Sternezahl geben.

The first track is a sweet little tribute by Blossom Dearie (1970) followed by some precious Mary/Dusty teen-age home recordings - all in ragtime. Then we get to the Lana Sisters. The Springfields which included her gifted and successful brother Dion/Tom come next. I guess their parents did something right. Tom would re-create this kind of sound with 'The Seekers'. What is so great about these tracks, for me anyway, is the backdrop they provide for Dusty's fantastic pop transformation that is the brilliant rush of 'I Only Want To Be With You' and a little later 'Stay Awhile'. She'd come back changed from New York with a magic carpet woven with soul; the rest of the collection is a magic carpet ride around a magic garden with it's gates wide open...
What I like about Dusty is her humility. She doesn't re-work songs to make them her own. She always has respect for the original versions. On the lovely 'Some of Your Lovin' she doesn't stray much from the The Honeybees' original take. If you can listen to The Honeybees' track you'll hear a young singer doing a very good job. Dusty's husky timbre always adds gravitas and dignity to her songs but it's the combination of her intelligent interpretation, raw emotion (deep soul) and technical ability that always adds winning edge as she does here. Because of these qualities she could out compete her best competitors who were in the USA, not the UK. Dusty Springfield is in the canon of greatest modern artist singers. And, in her quiet unassuming way, she was also a radical and progressive fusion of her rainbow times; before her time and of this time and the future.
'Your Hurtin' Kinda Love' is one of my favourite earlier than 'Memphis' tracks (along with the lighter weight pop song 'I'll Try Anything'). I don't think she liked this as much as I do maybe because it wasn't a hit. This is a track that impressed me so much I played it to friends and made them listen to it all the way through and focus on the last repeated words 'Come on Baby, take this hurt off me'. Her voice cracks throughout the recording because she's singing so hard (and must have recorded many takes). It's a big gorgeous Phil Spectorish production. I'd never heard such intensity from a white singer before; on hearing 'Memphis' I gave up separating Dusty in such a stupid way.
I don't know why Dusty didn't put 'Live it Up' on this collection because that's such a great track but you can get that easily enough nowadays. Instead she includes rarer tracks like Madeline Bell's super groovy 'Go Ahead On', the northern soul hit 'What's it Gonna Be' ('Baby, believe me!') and the previously un-released 7 minutes plus 12" mix of 'That's the Kind of Love I've Got For You'. Many of these box-set tracks were deleted at the time of compilation (and are again now) and taking that into account this is a fantastic and generous collection. It's also in chronological order so it's an important historical record too.
At the very end we get Dusty's last recording. Just Dusty with piano. It's the lovely, now very poignant 'Someone to Watch Over Me'. This box-set is a beautiful gift from Dusty with love. It's worth far more than 5 stars. It's a treasure box.
Although Mary O'Brien had been an ordinary-looking young woman, Dusty Springfield was an astonishing vision, sporting a blonde bouffant, light make-up, and heavy eye-liner--a look that became known as "Panda Eyes." Her gowns sparkled; her gestures were broadly melodramatic; her life as it unfolded was a riot of scandal that included alcohol, drugs, and whispers of lesbianism. She rode the rocket of fame throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, self-destructed more than once in the 1970s and 1980s, and made a stunning return to the public eye in the 1987. She died of breast cancer in 1999.
Now that swinging London, panda eyes, and all the trappings of her heyday in the spotlight have passed into myth, it has become possible to more clearly assess Springfield's gifts. And by any standard her work was and is exceptional. Springfield was clearly influenced by the folk and soul movements of the 1960s as well as various jazz artists, most particularly Peggy Lee--and in light of this many critics have attempted to define her by genre. But as Burt Bacharach so famously said, "you could hear just three notes and you knew it was Dusty." Her vocal stylings often reflect her influences, but she was never less than herself, unique, specific.
Likewise, Springfield's choice of material tends to defy genre. She did indeed do a host of recordings that most people would describe as "soul," but at the same time she did everything from lounge-style to Broadway to blues-inflected. It is extremely difficult to think of another singer with such broad tastes: from "the wall of sound" effect of "Stay Awhile" to the smoky, nightclub-ish "The Look of Love" to the super-clean style of "Goin' Back," she encompassed virtually every 20th Century pop idiom.
SIMPLY DUSTY suffers from the usual complaint one always has about collections: what to keep in and what to leave out. I am personally frustrated by the failure to include "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" recorded with The Springfields and the Bacharach "24 Hours From Tulsa." But such quibbles aside, this is a remarkably effective collection of ninety seven cuts (the opening cut, "Dusty Springfield," is a tribute by Blossom Dearie)--including bits from The Lana Sisters and The Springfields and continuing right up until the last recordings she made before her death. The recordings are crisp and clean and have tremendous clarity.
The accompanying book is also quite nice, offering a brief but accurate biography, overview of her career, a history of each song included in the set, and lavish photography. I am sure there are more comprehensive collections, but even so, this may be the best available. Worth the price and strongly recommended.

Just to prove a point a good friend that goes back to my youth 60 years ago-yes I am old- he said I don't want anymore Dusty "I have a load and don't want anymore. We meet every fortnight and I said ok but I will just show you the set and book and although you don't want anymore once you see it I bet you will change your mind. He said ok I will look but I have enough already and that's it. I carried it to where we meet and after 1/2 hour took it out and that was it he wanted it and paid me the cost there and then!!!
I have a fair amount of CDS but this is the gem of my collection and takes pride of place above all the rest.
As I said one word "PERFECT". You don't get any better than this. I agree with the others 5* all the way. Just buy it and see, it's a masterpiece and all involved deserve congratulations and thanks.
dusty springfield herself consulted on the selection of tracks before she passed away from breast cancer in 1999. she was able, by knowledge of her artistic self, able to share that with her fans.
vocally, there is not one fasle move in the selection of tracks, which include an impressionistic, shimmering tribute to her sung by blossom dearie with lyrics written by her one time lover norma tanega. dusty's range is evident from her folksy days fronting the springfields to her rule of england's pop scene and through her various reconstructions as a singer using trends like hard rock, r and b and new wave up to a poignant snippet of 'someone to watch over me'. this woman may have had ghosts and fears, but as an artist she was fearless. and her songbook is a lesson to any young artist--try it all. and let your technique help you.
