    "...The Soul Of A Woman..." - Dusty In Memphis by DUSTY SPRINGFIELD (2002 Mercury 'Expanded & Remastered' CD)
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2016*

Few albums that arrive in your listening booth/man-lair are more endowed with legend than Dusty Springfield's 1969 Soulful Rock masterpiece - "Dusty In Memphis". But its reissue history both on VINYL and CD has been fraught with poor pressings and rumours of knackered mastertapes laden with voluminous amounts of hiss.At last - this UK and Europe 2002 Mercury CD reissue comes clean (so to speak) with a Full Page of explanation from the hugely experienced Universal Audio Engineer GARY MOORE. Page 21 tells us that this is his third time mastering the album - chronicling what had to be done before (in discussion with Dusty) to get the best audio for this CD release.Legendarily 'hissy' (and to the extreme on some tracks) - Moore has resorted to the SADIE 4, 24-bit/96K Mastering Computer and has applied CEDAR No Noise as well as T.C. ELECTRON FINALIZER - all of it routed through a YAMAHA Digital Mixing Desk. Moore has used STEREO Master Tapes for "Dusty In Memphis" with the MONO Single mixes coming from original tapes supplied via Rhino/Atlantic in the USA. The sonic result is the best we’ve had so far. Instead of walls of noise - I'm getting a coherent musical picture - albeit compromised in places because of Noise Reduction. And it comes with a healthy eight bonus tracks – the A&B-sides of four US and UK 7" single-sides in MONO (mixed down from the Stereo tapes). Let's get to the details of the Preacher Man (and Woman)...UK released 30 September 2002 (7 October 2002 in the USA) - "Dusty In Memphis" by DUSTY SPRINGFIELD On Mercury 063 297-2 (Barcode 044006329727) is a 'Remastered and Expanded' CD Edition with 8 Bonus Mixes and plays out as follows (56:56 minutes):1. Just A Little Lovin'2. So Much Love3. Son Of A Preacher Man4. I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore5. Don't Forget About Me6. Breakfast In Bed7. Just One Smile [Side 2]8. The Windmills Of Your Mind9. In The Land Of Make Believe10. No Easy Way Down11. I Can't Make It AloneTracks 1 to 11 are the album "Dusty In Memphis" - released 17 January 1969 in the USA on Atlantic SD 8124 and 18 April 1969 in the UK on Phillips SBL 7889. Produced by ARIF MARDIN and TOM DOWD - it peaked at No. 99 on the US LP charts but failed to chart in the UK.BONUS TRACKS (All Mono 7" Single Mixes):12. Son Of A Preacher Man (Mono)13. Just A Little Lovin' (Mono)Tracks 12 and 13 are the A&B-sides of the US 7" single released 8 November 1968 (prior to the LP) on Atlantic 2580 (peaked at No. 10).UK release was 29 November 1968 on Philips BF 1730 (peaked at No. 9) with the B-side credited as "Just A Little Lovin' (Early In The Morning)"14. Don't Forget About Me (Mono)15. Breakfast In Bed (Mono)Tracks 14 and 15 are the A&B-sides of a US 7" single released 7 February 1969 (after the album) on Atlantic 2606 (peaked at No. 64) - no UK issue.16. I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore (Mono)17. The Windmills Of Your Minds (Mono)Tracks 16 and 17 are the A&B-sides of a US 7" single released 1 April 1969 on Atlantic 2623, which peaked at No. 105. However with the song "The Windmills Of Your Minds" (sung by Noel Harrison and featured in the Steve McQueen/Fay Dunaway film "The Thomas Crown Affair") having been nominated for an Academy Award (and won) - Phillips USA flipped Dusty's version and it became a No. 31 hit on the back of that publicity - no UK issue.18. In The Land Of Make Believe (Mono)19. So Much Love (Mono)Tracks 18 and 19 are the A&B-sides of the fourth and final 7" single from the album - released 5 September 1969 in the USA on Atlantic 2673 (peaked at No. 113) - no UK issue.Although this reissue hasn't got the genuinely pretty US artwork used by Rhino in their 1999 CD version (this version pops for the dull UK artwork from Philips) - the 28-page booklet is more than substantial - it's beautiful. Festooned with memorabilia photos, 7" singles, rare picture sleeves from all over the World (Europe and Japan), sheet music, colour period snaps of a dapper looking Dusty, press clippings and reviews etc. There are four essays – one from Atlantic's JERRY WEXLER (co-produced the album), 'two' more reminiscence-pieces from the album's legendary duo of Producers ARIF MARDIN and TOM DOWD - and all of it topped with a 'Foreword' from musician and uber-fan ELVIS COSTELLO. Stanley Booth's original LP Liner Notes are reproduced too and there's that note from Audio Engineer GARY MOORE on the transfers and the reasons for all that hiss. Even the all powerful "Son Of A Preacher Man" (the song most closely associated with the LP) gets a full page repro - the UK 45 on Phillips BF 1730 complete with its label bag. As I say - it's comprehensive and crammed full of Dusty goodies.Proceedings open with a Barry Mann/Cynthia Weill tune - the upbeat and early-in-the-morning sunshine of "Just A Little Lovin'" - a song that sounds more Bacharach and David that Mann and Weill (but in a good way). I had the 1999 Rhino CD and it was hissy - here the song is prevalent and not the tapes (Nice job done). "So Much Love" is the first of four Carole King/Jerry Goffin songs - the other three being "Don't Forget About Me", "No Easy Way Down" and "I Can't Make It Alone".  By the time the Funk-Soul-Rock of "Son Of A Preacher Man" arrives you also begin to notice one of the album’s subtle secret weapons – the Backing Vocals of The Sweet Inspirations (headed up by Whitney's mum Cissy Houston). They lift the stunning "Preacher Man" and add an accusing spoken line to the hurting Randy Newman song "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" when they mimic Dusty's lyrics "...he wasn't thinking of her today!" They come in at the end of the song too adding Soul class to an already winning melody. The pen of Randy Newman also provided “Just One Smile” while Michel LeGrand wrote the “Thomas Crown Affair” song and general hippy anthem – “The Windmills Of Your Mind”.It's amazing to hear how 'clean' the transfer of "Breakfast In Bed" is - a wickedly groovy song written by Southern Soul Boy heroes Donnie Fritts and Eddie Hinton. The same applies to the Acoustic Guitar beginning of "Just One Smile" - another Randy Newman beauty. Although it's deemed a classic by some "The Windmills Of Your Mind" has always felt ever so slightly cheesy to me. Better is the fabulous keyboard Soul of "No Easy Way Down" - as lovely a song as she's ever sung. It swoops and swoons and genuinely carries you along with it - The Sweet Inspirations adding tasty touches as the brass and strings sing. The 7" single mixes are very cool fan pleasures and in Mono give a more defined punch in places.Although "Dusty In Memphis" is considered by so many to be a Pop masterpiece – on listening to its entirety in 2016 – I hear a 'Soul' record – deep, luxurious and sexy after all these years."Don't Forget About Me" - Dusty begs on the Gerry Goffin/Carole King pleader. On the strength of this album alone...that's not likely...

    Dusty In Memphis.
  

*by G***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2017*

I can only agree with the many positive reviews for this album. The wonderful Dusty Springfield has been a fairly late discovery for me, but having found her, I now have many of her great recordings. It’s said that her decision to do this 'Dusty in Memphis', the home of hard edged R 'n' B grooves, was viewed with puzzlement by many at the time. Dusty worked on the album with the top production/arrangement team of Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin, which it's claimed she initially felt overwhelmed by and their relationship became strained, with Wexler claiming he never got a note out of her during the initial sessions in Memphis.However, you'd never know this from the recorded evidence with Dusty giving a wonderfully understated performance relying on her musical maturity,  timing, and delivery rather than just pure vocal firepower. The songs are all brilliant, and Dusty’s interpretation of them is peerless. Likewise, Mardin's sensitive blend of Bacharach poise and Memphis funk provides the perfect frame for Dusty's blue eyed soul with her potent mix of emotional charge, vulnerability, and knowing desire. I love it, a great album from a great talent, sadly gone, but not forgotten.

    One of the best albums ever
  

*by I***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2012*

Dusty Springfield is probably the greatest female singer Britain has ever produced - incredibly versatile, she could sing anything from jazz/blues to searing ballads to whistful pop and real soul, making each one sound like home turf. Her well-documented insecurities seemed to propel her delivery to amazing heights of intimacy and vulnerability. When she travelled to Memphis to record with the team that had propelled Aretha to superstardom, the results were nothing less than staggering. Dusty apparently disliked the vocal on "Son Of A Preacher Man", but it is a masterclass in sultry soul and far surpasses Aretha's subsequent version - high praise indeed!. Surprisingly, maybe, much of the rest of the album is down-tempo, but every single one of the songs is fanstastic, the arangements superb, and Dusty's vocals sublime. Personal favourites include "So Much Love" (wonderful searing vocals at the end), the aching "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore", but the icing on the cake must surely be "The Windmills Of Your Mind". Amazingly, this track begins very quietly and tenderly, and builds gently in both the musical arrangement and vocal, until reaching dizzying heights at the end. A classic in every way, and a must-have for any CD collection.If you have the cash, try and get Rhino's 1999 import deluxe edition. You get a great gatefold sleeve and inner booklet detailing the history, a CD on Atlantic with the US artwork (which I prefer to the UK) and a whopping 25 tracks, including Dusty's only 3 other Jerry Wexler-produced tracks, 2 bonus Gamble and Huff Philly tracks, plus a range of tracks from the shelved John Barry produced "Faithful" CD. There is some great stuff there. If you then get the version of "A Brand New Me" with bonus material, you have all of Dusty's Atlantic recordings, and you can piece together all of the "Faithful" CD. Wonderful stuff!
