Description

Dusty In Memphis is a soul-pop masterpiece — the album that transformed Dusty Springfield from pop chanteuse to soul icon. This half speed remastered edition, cut at Abbey Road Studios, celebrates the album’s 50th anniversary with audiophile-grade 180g vinyl, housed in a deluxe sleeve with obi-strip and mastering certificate. Featuring timeless tracks like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Breakfast in Bed,” and “I Can’t Make It Alone,” this edition preserves the lush arrangements and emotional nuance that made the original a critical triumph.

Artist Overview

Dusty Springfield’s move to Memphis marked a bold reinvention — collaborating with producers Jerry Wexler, Arif Mardin, and Tom Dowd, and recording with the legendary American Sound Studio house band. Her husky vocals and interpretive depth turned songs by Goffin & King, Randy Newman, and Bacharach & David into soul standards. Dusty In Memphis remains a touchstone for artists from Amy Winehouse to Adele, and a defining moment in British soul.
