Nothing Has Been Proved: Cherry Red to Expand Dusty Springfield's "Reputation"

June 29, 2016 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dusty Springfield rightfully regained her reputation as one of the best British soul singers of her generation, with the help of some famous collaborators. The fruits of that labor, 1990's Reputation, is being expanded by Cherry Red Records this summer.

While Dusty had dominated part of the '60s with a unique brand of soul-pop on tracks like "I Only Want to Be with You," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and the Burt Bacharach-Hal David-penned "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "The Look of Love" (not to mention her critically-adored Dusty in Memphis and its Top 10 hit "Son of a Preacher Man" in 1968), the '70s were a time of transition. Two of her albums, 1971's Faithful for Atlantic and 1974's Longing for ABC-Dunhill, weren't even initially released (though Real Gone reassembled Faithful for CD, with liner notes by Joe, in 2015, and an LP is on the way this August). Her most recent album at the time, the synth-driven White Heat (1982), didn't even get a U.K. release.

It was her appearance on Pet Shop Boys' striking single "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" that would get fans old and new to take notice once more; the single peaked at No. 2 on both sides of the Atlantic. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe would write four new songs for Dusty's Reputation, including U.K. hits "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private." (They would produce those recordings as well with longtime collaborator Julian Mendelssohn, the trio also helming a cover of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "I Want to Stay Here" for her as well.)

But Reputation was more than just Dusty and PSB; the record also featured production work from Andy Richards (keyboard player on Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" and George Michael's "Careless Whisper" as well as producer of Pet Shop Boys' chart-topping "Heart"), Paul Stavely O'Duffy (who'd recently produced Swing Out Sister and Was (Not Was)) and Dan Hartman, with writing credits from the likes of Allee Willis, Rupert Hine, Holly Knight and Desmond Child.

Cherry Red/Strike Force Entertainment's "Expanded Collector's Edition" of Reputation, available August 26, features the album alongside its various 12" mixes and B-sides (including the Disco Mix of "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" as a bonus track), as well as the bonus tracks from EMI Gold's Reputation and Rarities reissue from 1997.  The package is rounded out with a DVD of promo videos and liner notes featuring insights from Dusty, session singer Simon Bell and Tris Penna of EMI, who helped oversee the original release.

    I was listening to "Nothing Has Been Proved" on a VA 12" mix compilation just yesterday. It's easy to forget what a great song it is. This looks like an excellent release. Thanks for the heads-up.
