Release Round-Up: Week of July 14

July 14, 2017 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up!

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Dusty Springfield, A Brand New Me: The Complete Philadelphia Sessions (Real Gone Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Dusty Springfield's 1970 A Brand New Me LP (her follow-up Atlantic effort to the landmark Dusty in Memphis) found Dusty traveling to Sigma Sound in Philadelphia to work with Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Thom Bell, architects of the orchestrated soul known as "The Philadelphia Sound."  Springfield would have a #3 AC hit with the album's title song.  Brand New Me forms the basis of this new collection which adds seven bonus tracks: the single "I Wanna Be a Free Girl," five outtakes which were previously featured on various Springfield reissues over the years, and the previously unreleased outtake "Sweet Charlie."  The original album has been resequenced, and all tracks have been newly remixed from the original multi-tracks by Ted Carfrae.  Joe's liner notes feature new quotes from legends Thom Bell and Kenny Gamble.  It adds up to a complete celebration of Dusty Springfield's spin on Philadelphia soul! Get the full scoop here!
