Release Round-Up: Week of August 7

August 7, 2015 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Welcome to another New Release Friday, and today’s Release Round-Up!

Dusty - Come for a Dream

Dusty Springfield, Come for a Dream: The U.K. Sessions 1970-1971  (Real Gone) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Earlier this year, Real Gone released Faithful – a collection of Dusty Springfield’s complete sessions with producer-songwriter Jeff Barry, compiled for the first time as originally envisioned on one disc.  Now, the label has turned its attention to Dusty’s 1970-1971 London sessions intended for the album See All Her Faces but eventually released on numerous collections and box sets over the years.  For the very first time, every one of the tracks Dusty recorded in London during that two-year period has been collected on one disc in newly remastered sound.  Come for a Dream: The U.K. Sessions 1970-1971 presents some of Dusty’s rarest music in context, as you’ve never heard it before.  One track, Spike Milligan’s “Goodbye,” makes its U.S. CD debut and second appearance anywhere following its premiere on the 2011 U.K.-only Goin’ Back box set.  I’ve written the new liner notes for this one-of-a-kind collection.

Ben E. King - Complete Singles

Ben E. King, The Complete Atco/Atlantic Singles Vol. 1-1960-1966 (2-CD Set) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.) / Robbie Robertson/Alex North, Carny-Soundtrack from the Motion Picture (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.) / Mike Bloomfield & Nick Gravenites, Steelyard Blues-Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture(Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.) / Jorge Ben, Ben (Limited Mini LP Sleeve Edition) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

The rest of Real Gone’s slate for today is equally exciting, with the first volume of a complete compendium of Ben E. King’s Atco and Atlantic singles; two rare soundtracks from rock legends; and a limited edition replica CD of Brazilian legend Jorge Ben’s 1972 breakthrough!  Note that Real Gone’s first-time-on-CD reissue of Lesley Gore’s MoWest album Someplace Else Now has been delayed for one short week, to August 14!  Read about all of this week’s Real Gone titles here.

Legacy Recordings and RCA continue their series of Legacy Edition expansions of The King’s classic catalogue with this 2-CD remaster of 1975’s Today.    This 40th anniversary release contains the original album featuring the hit single “T-R-O-U-B-L-E” and 10 undubbed session mixes previously only available via the Follow That Dream collectors’ label. Disc 2 features live performances recorded within weeks of the album’s release.
