Customer Reviews
Excellent Release!
Although I had most of the tracks on this new release already on an earlier EMI release I haven't listened to them for a good few years so I had a great time listening to them all again!....These are great sixties songs...brilliant vibrant "real " music and Shirley Bassey's voice is magnificient! ...I can't agree with the first reviewer..I think the sound quality is superb..typical sixties clear immediate well recorded sound..I think as usual BGO have done a really great job !!
Another exellent re-issue from BGO
Another two great albums re-released by BGO with the best sound quality ever for these two recordings that are now both over 40 years old!
This Is My Life was released in 1968 and to be honest has never been a favorite of mine until now! The remastering brings out detail in the excellent orchestrations that were missing from the original vinyl albums. Tracks like "Goin Out Of My Head", "Softly As I Leave You" and "Where Is Tomorrow" sound like they are 2009 recordings! Overall a great album. The second album is Bassey's 1969 release "Does Anybody Miss Me". For me the best tracks on this release are the lesser known songs like "It's Always 4am" "Never Never No" and "We" where Bassey holds back on her usual strident vocals and gives a much more intimate performance. For me "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me" and "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" sound way too cabaret and are not typical of Bassey's style, but that is just my personal taste, they are both good songs. Overall this release of Shirley Bassey's last two albums of the sixties, just before she would go on to even greater success in the seventies starting with the "Something" album, are great additions to her CD catalogue. What is especially welcome is the fantastic sound quality on this release. These albums have never sounded better!
My 2 favourite Bassey albums on 1 CD!
At long last.....my 2 favourite Shirley Bassey albums on 1 CD remastered to perfection. Although I love all the songs in these 2 albums, my vinyl sounded dull.....it lacked the sparkle of her past recordings. BGO Records has corrected this imbalance with a fabulous remaster. Grab this CD......it's excellent value for money!
