Complete Philadelphia Sessions: A Brand New Me (Expanded Edition)

Having issued collections of her lost 1971 Jeff Barry produced sessions (Faithful) and her entire 1970-1971 U.K. sessions (Come for a Dream), we have made chronicling the hallowed early '70s period of Dusty Springfield's career something of a mission here at Real Gone Music. And we have saved what just might be the best for last-this collection brings together, for the first time ever, all of the historic recordings made by Dusty at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia with Gamble-Huff Productions for Atlantic Records. The 17 selections cover the ten 1969 recordings issued on Springfield's 1970 album A Brand New Me- including the hit title song-plus 7 additional tracks from 1970 including the single I Wanna Be a Free Girl, outtakes not issued until the 1990s on various compilations, and a previously unreleased track, Sweet Charlie. Additionally, because former iterations of this material have not been sonically quite up to snuff, each track is newly-remixed from the original multitrack masters by Ted Carfrae! Liner notes by Joe Marchese and rare images from Dusty's own collection complete this invaluable look at the seductive Ms. Springfield's foray into the Philly Soul sound. Put this together with our other Real Gone Dusty retrospectives and you have the full picture of Dusty's recordings from 1969-1971 that immediately followed her Dusty in Memphis pinnacle!!
