Shirley Bassey – Dame Shirley Bassey – The Singer – CD

Digipak

Originally planned for release in 2012, this set, authorised by Dame Shirley Bassey herself, is long awaited by her fans as it features some of the most sought-after material from Dame Shirley’s EMI and United Artists catalogue, alongside remastered versions of some of her greatest recordings. The BBC broadcast excerpts from the 1973 Royal Albert Hall concert on New Year’s Day 1974. This is widely considered as one of Dame Shirley’s best concert recordings. An accompanying album release was planned but left unfinished – until now. The set includes songs not featured in the broadcast and some alternate performances. Compiled by Martyn Daye, the set also features many previously unpublished photographs. Remastered from the original master tapes by Richard Moore at Mint Audio.
