Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis Vinyl LP (Used)
DESCRIPTION
Dusty in Memphis was, and remains, one of the great albums of the classic-rock era. Dusty Springfield was keeping up with the fast-moving times of 1968—she had a string of hits in the U.K. and U.S. unrivaled by any other female singer—but songs like “You Don’t Own Me” sounded old-fashioned by the late 60s. She signed with Atlantic Records, one of the hippest labels of the day, and headed for Memphis and the American Sound Studios to record her first all-R&B album.
There, Springfield micro-managed Atlantic’s Jerry Wexler in the studio regarding the choice of material and takes. During the recording sessions, she found time to recommend Atlantic sign a new band called Led Zeppelin. Her advice to Atlantic made the label wealthy, but her new LP proved a bit of a commercial fizzle and did not have the hoped-for impact on her career. However, it became a critical success and, years after its 1969 release, was rediscovered and elevated to iconic status, finding its way onto most every meaningful list of the era’s great rock LPs.
