Long lost Dusty Springfield album to make vinyl debut

Due out June 6 on Real Gone Music, Dusty Springfield's Longing comprises 10 tracks produced by Brooks Arthur that were part of a shelved album. The songs are making their vinyl debut along with new mixes for the 2CD 2LP release.

Arthur, known for work with Phil Spector's coterie of female artists, framed Dusty in the 1970s singer/songwriter vein with Material from The Zombies' Colin Blunstone (“Exclusively for Me”), Melissa Manchester and Carole Bayer Sager (“Home to Myself”), Janis Ian (“In the Winter”), Stephen Schwartz (“Corner of the Sky”), Barry Manilow (“I Am Your Child”) and others. 

In 2001, under the supervision of Arthur, 9 of 10 tracks were released on CD. The 10th track (“Corner of the Sky” from the Broadway musical "Pippin") was reworked as a duet with Petula Clark and included on a pair of anthologies.

This release includes the first solo release of “Corner of the Sky” and includes track-by-track annotations by Dusty expert Paul Howes, vintage artwork and rare photos. The vinyl edition Is pressed on eco-friendly PET black plastic.
