A classic now cut at 45 RPM!

Originally released in 1969, the concept for Dusty In Memphis was to take England's reigning female soul queen to the home of the music which had inspired her. Produced by Atlantic's Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin and engineered by Tom Dowd, the record's highlights include "Son Of A Preacher Man," "So Much Love," "Breakfast In Bed," "Just One Smile," "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" and "Just A Little Lovin'". Springfield is backed by a crack band that had previously worked with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, King Curtis and Elvis Presley among others. The musicians - collectively known as the Memphis Cats - include guitarist Reggie Young, bassist Tommy Cogbill, drummer Gene Chrismann, pianist Bobby Wood and Bobby Emmons on organ and electric piano. Songwriting contributions came from, among others, Randy Newman, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Dusty Springfield is one of the finest white soul singers of her era, and this is the undisputed proof.

LP of the Month - Hi-Fi News
"...this LP proved definitively that Ms. Springfield ranks right up there with Aretha Franklin, Etta James and other soul/R&B queens of the post-WWII era...This edition is the finest I've ever heard." LP of the Month. Sound Quality = 99% - Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News

"...absolutely stunning double 45rpm issue mastered from the original tape by Kevin Gray...I didn't know what to expect from this but my most optimistic hopes didn't begin to approach this album's reinvention at 45rpm...A classic reinvented. Very highly recommended for the music, for the mastering and for the superbly detailed pressing quality too from Quality Record Pressings." Music = 9/11, Sound = 9/11 - Michael Fremer, musicangle.com, November 2011

"...As with all 45 RPM remasterings, the higher groove velocity has made possible the extended high frequencies and lower noise that make this edition a marvel of sound." Performance = 5/5, Sound = 5/5; Editor's Pick, Recording of the Month — Robert Baird, Stereophile, February 2012

"... Kevin Gray turned in a sparkling re-mastering and the 45-RPM pressing from Chad Kassem's Quality Records could hardly be better. 'The Windmills Of Your Mind' throws a huge soundstage and Dusty on vinyl sets a high barrier for high def digital to aim for." Recording = 10/10; Music = 10/10 — Dennis D. Davis, Hi-Fi +, Issue 86

This 45 RPM pressing is the best version (either cd or vinyl) that I have ever heard of this classic album. Beautifully mastered and on dead quiet vinyl. Get one before they're all snapped up. Highly recommended.

I finally got round to spending some time with this LP. I wanted the right moment and a cold Sunday evening next to a warm fire felt right. As I listened I was thinking back to the early 90's - we never turned away from vinyl as much here in the UK as you did in the US, but still it was a difficult time and getting clean copies of much wanted LP's was tough. I bought a lot of CDs at the time and I recall with hindsight how my listening habits changed - I stopped listening to album after album and found myself turning off the CD player after just 1 CD or keeping it on as background only. Anyway the point of this ramble is to say that I for one hoped this day would come - if you didn't know we are in a golden age for vinyl my dreams are coming true as I snap up Dusty, Blue Note & Impulse 45's, Nat, Elvis etc etc. If you don't get this LP you will regret it - compared to the CD it's not even close the 45 sounds like real life & real musicians and I confess it brought a tear to my eye...

Better than this album has ever sounded before!

This 45 rpm reproduction of DIM is just marvelous. The detail is just so clear and I have heard so many versions. There was always this hiss on all the versions I have heard. It arrived a little scratched but it's a record you know. I was more interested in the sound and detail because I own every version of this recording be it old new cd etc etc. The 45 RPM helps I think every aspect of the sound, than a 33 1/3. So honestly this is as good as it gets. I wish my system was more audiophile but what can you do. DIM FOREVER
