In 1971, Atlantic Records released a pair of Dusty Springfield
singles produced by the legendary songwriter/producer Jeff Barry (one-time
songwriting and romantic partner of Ellie Greenwich, and author of too many
hits to name):
"Haunted"/"Nothing Is Forever" and "I Believe
In You"/"Someone Who Cares." A restless Dusty, freshly
relocating to America from her native England, then departed the label and left
an additional 9 songs recorded with Barry in the can, where they stayed until
Rhino issued one track, "Faithful" (in mono), as a bonus track on the
1990s CD release of Dusty's 1970 Atlantic album A Brand New Me.
The other
tracks didn’t surface until a subsequent deluxe reissue of Dusty’s landmark
1969 album Dusty in Memphis included them as bonus cuts. Now, reissue producer
Jim Pierson—who tracked down the missing masters after being lost for over two
decades —has assembled all of Dusty’s Barry-produced masters and put them
together in a single package for the first time to create the third Dusty
Springfield Atlantic Records album as planned in 1971. Real Gone Music’s
release of Faithful presents these historic Barry-Springfield collaborations
exactly as they were originally intended to be heard, with the 12 tracks
intended for the album release and one intended for single-only release. All
tracks are in stereo, while the liner notes, penned by The Second Disc's Joe
Marchese, feature a number of rarely-seen photos of the legendary singer. These
stunning pop, soul and gospel flavored selections showcase the iconic singer at
the height of her vocal magic. A missing/jumbled
part of Dusty’s august recorded legacy, finally set right!
