Paul Howes's new Edition of "The Complete Dusty Springfield" has been out for quite a few months already, but there cannot be enough emphasis put on the fact that this book is said to be the "Bible" amongst all Dusty Springfield literature. If you are interested in buying this book click here for the UK and here for the US market.
As an amazon.com user put nicely: "[It is] a work of intense dedication and love, this compendium contains information on the more than 288 songs that Dusty recorded throughout her 40 year singing career. Includes hard to find information about never released (or yet to be released) tracks, as well as info on albums, live concert line-ups and song lists..."
08 October 2007 - Dusty Springfield Live At The BBC - Box Set finally released!
It certainly is the best release of the year! - The new Dusty Springfield - Live At the BBC Box Set is now finally available in both the US and the UK!
The BBC made the mistake of wiping many old television shows from their archives, which is why only fragments of the original Dusty shows survived. Some of the footage was found again in other countries where television stations had, in in breach of their contract with the BBC, kept parts of the show in their archives.
