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.

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country & Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
Appears also on labels as: JASMINE only and as a company (with manufacturing and distribution roles).

Long before she reigned as Britain's "Queen of Soul", Dusty Springfield llearned the ropes initially as a member of The Lana Sisters, and then more famously in The Springfields, alongside her Brother, Tom. This unique compilation includes everything that Dusty recorded between 1958 and 1962, with both groups. Disc 1, tracks 1-14 features everything recorded by The Lana Sisters and all the other tracks feature The Springfields. The latter enjoyed significant international success, including a couple of million-selling singles, "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" (which made the US Top 20) and "Island of Dreams" (UK Top 5), both of which appear on this set. Includes The Springfields' two LPs, 'Kinda Folksy' and 'Folk Songs from the Hills', plus contemporaneous singles and many collectors' rarities, most notably a handful of rare German and French language recordings, which are virtually unheard before now. Also features the unfeasibly rare Springfields 4-track "Christmas EP", Which was only ever available as a mail order item via Woman's Own magazine.
