Dusty Springfield was an influential British singer who began her career with The Lana Sisters before joining The Springfields in the early 60's. She achieved great success as a solo artist in the 1960's, releasing numerous hit albums and singles. In addition to her music career, she also headlined several variety series on BBC and ITV networks in the UK during that time. Although her chart successes slowed in the 1970s, she experienced a resurgence in the 1980's with collaborations with the Pet Shop Boys. Sadly, Dusty passed away in March 1999 after battling cancer.
Despite her illness, Dusty continued to create music until her final album "A Very Fine Love." Her talent and contributions were recognized when she was awarded the Order of the British Empire shortly before her passing. In recognition of her impact on music, she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later that same year.
Dusty Springfield will always be remembered as a remarkable artist whose soulful voice captivated audiences around the world. Her legacy lives on through her timeless music and enduring influence on future generations of musicians.

Real Gone Music is a U.S. reissue label that was established in 2011 by two individuals who previously founded other successful labels. With a focus on reissuing music from various genres, Real Gone Music aims to bring back classic and hard-to-find albums for music enthusiasts. They have gained a reputation for their high-quality releases and attention to detail, ensuring that the original branded label is included if shown on the release. Please note that there is an unofficial entity pretending to be Real Gone Music, so be sure to look out for the authentic label when making your purchases. Also, it's important not to confuse Real Gone Music with the UK/Europe based budget reissue label that issues multi-disc box sets in different genres and series.

In 1971, Atlantic Records released a pair of Dusty Springfield singles produced by the legendary songwriter/producer Jeff Barry (one-time songwriting and romantic partner of Ellie Greenwich, and author of too many hits to name): &nbsp;"Haunted"/"Nothing Is Forever" and "I Believe In You"/"Someone Who Cares." A restless Dusty, freshly relocating to America from her native England, then departed the label and left an additional 9 songs recorded with Barry in the can, where they stayed until Rhino issued one track, "Faithful" (in mono), as a bonus track on the 1990s CD release of Dusty's 1970 Atlantic album A Brand New Me. The other tracks didn’t surface until a subsequent deluxe reissue of Dusty’s landmark 1969 album Dusty in Memphis included them as bonus cuts.

Then, reissue producer Jim Pierson - who tracked down the missing masters after being lost for over two decades - assembled Dusty’s Barry-produced masters and put them together in a single package for the first time to create the third Dusty Springfield Atlantic Records album as planned in 1971. Real Gone Music’s release of Faithful on LP presents these historic Barry-Springfield collaborations exactly as they were originally intended to be heard, with the 12 tracks meant for the album release out on vinyl over 50 years later. All tracks are in stereo, while the liner notes on the new gatefold spread, penned by The Second Disc's Joe Marchese, feature a number of rarely-seen photos of the legendary singer. These stunning pop, soul and gospel flavored selections showcase the iconic singer at the height of her vocal magic. &nbsp;A missing/jumbled part of Dusty’s august recorded legacy, finally set right and available in its intended format.
