During her
1968-1971 period with Atlantic Records in the United States, Dusty Springfield
also continued to record material in England, where her Atlantic repertoire was
released on Philips Records. In turn, Atlantic received rights to issue Dusty's
British recordings from the era, but chose to focus entirely on her American
sessions. In fact, it wasn’t until the ‘90s that some of these masters (many of
which originally came out on the Philips See All Her Faces album overseas) were
available Stateside, but they were scattered across several compilations and
were never comprehensively assembled.
Now, with
the release of Come For A Dream—The U.K. Sessions 1970-1971, all of Dusty’s
“orphaned” British recordings from her 1970-1971 Atlantic period have been gathered
together for the first time. These 16 sides document what was intended to be a
complete album plus some extra single sides and outtakes. Dusty was singing at
her absolute best during this time, covering pop, rock and soul with equal
power and sensitivity; thus, Come For A Dream represents a major addition and
clarification to the legendary singer’s discography. Notes by Joe Marchese shed
further light on this tumultuous period in Dusty Springfield’s career, with
rare photos to boot. A perfect companion piece to Real Gone Music’s recent
Faithful release, which presented Dusty’s missing third album for Atlantic from
the same era in proper fashion for the first time.
