Dusty Springfield - Gold (2006)

The sheer number of compilations of the work of the late Dusty Springfield has been staggering. The two best sets of her work are the triple-disc import Ultimate Collection, and domestically, a triple-CD package entitled Anthology. This 28-cut, double-disc Gold collection from Universal, however, is more modest (and affordable), but contains all the important charting singles from both the U.K. and the U.S., and contains a decent liner essay by Jim Pierson. The chronology begins here, as it should, with the Springfields first hit "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" from 1964 – when the British Invasion was in full swing – that hit number 20 on the Billboard chart.
