Thoroughly enjoyed the album.
It was great to hear her old songs again.
I didn't realize just how strong and robust her singing was.
Would recommend this album to Dusty Springfield fans.

These songs were wonderful! The CD was what I expected. "I Only Want to be With You" is my all time favorite. The shipment was delivered in good condition and promptness. Dusty is a wonderful singer whose songs will live on and on. She radiates "soul" in her recordings.

If you want a single, low-priced CD of Dusty Springfield in your collection, then you have a choice of two; "the very best of" and "Ultimate Collection". They are both great collections but unfortunately there are some indispensable tracks that are not common to both. Here's the analysis:

On both are:
I Only Want To Be With You, Wishin' and Hopin', You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, Stay Awhile, Son of a Preacher Man, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, What's It Gonna Be, All Cried Out, All I See Is You, The Look of Love, A Brand New Me.

Specific to 'The Very Best of' are:
In The Middle of Nowhere, Little By Little, I Close My Eyes and Count To Ten, Some of Your Lovin', I'll Try Anything, Losing You, Guess Who?, Give Me Time, Goin' Back.

Specific to 'Ultimate Collection' are:
Silver Threads and Golden Needles, Something In Your Eyes, Mama's Little Girl, Oh No! Not My Baby, Breakfast In Bed, Tupelo Honey, A Love Like Yours, The Windmills Of Your Mind, What Have I Done To Deserve This?

Eleven tracks is a big overlap. Clearly, purchasing both, doing some judicious ripping and burning, and re-selling one of them, is very much in order. Alternatively, get "the very best of" for a representative selection from Dusty's prime years, or "Ultimate" for a broader view of her career and her remarkable range. There are other compilations if you want to pay more. The important thing is to have some Dusty, any Dusty, in your collection. She was phenomenal.
