Today's Shelf Pull: Dusty Springfield, The Complete BBC Sessions

Broadcast with a Pulse

Today's Shelf Pull: Dusty Springfield, The Complete BBC. Read Eamon’s note on the music, sleeve and the Kilmorna shelf in Listowel.

Some records arrive wearing archive clothing and then proceed to make the room feel less dusty than most new things.

This is one of those.

The Complete BBC Sessions has the useful plainness of a good title. It tells you what it is. Dusty Springfield, gathered from BBC performances, spread across 2LP, with the early brightness, the soul reach, the pop discipline and the live-broadcast alertness all sitting close enough to hear the joins.

The joins are part of the pleasure.
