I have to say at the outset, I am a huge fan of 4MWB. I don't know much about the label. They're about three years old and have rereleased a large selection of classic records. A lot of soul and jazz, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding stretching into Tim Buckley and this record from Dusty Springfield. Each release is issued on fabulous 180grm vinyl with a clear full sound and cut loud which will also suit DJs. Some like this release are housed in a gatefold sleeve. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the inclusion of an plastic lined inner sleeve. But at the prices these guys charge, who's complaining?

And the music. Hmm. On the back Dusty says "Like most people, perhaps, I associated Memphis with one kind of sound, a hard R&B sound". I'd have to plead guilty here. I would normally expect plenty of horns and a whole lot of boogie. But not on this record. Dusty's husky bedroom voice comes at you from beneath the bed clothes enticing you back in for a longer rest on a sunday morning, and perhaps, just erhaps a little lovin'. The mood is kept up throughout the record hardly changing even for the 'son of a preacher man'. There are horns and boogie but its a gentle swaying boogie. And that voice, oh that voice.
