Talk:Dusty in Memphis

Comment
I've introduced the notion of Dusty straddling the Jazz and Rock eras with Memphis. I know it is too POV and my attempts to tone it down are not working. Anyone who can find a way to cite such a notion (perhaps with quotes from noted figures) please do so. I am most certain that Jerry Wexler would agree with the notion, but cannot find a quote to say this. I fully expect this portion to be edited, but if the grain of it could be kept somehow it is most certainly essential to the work. thank you to fellow wiki-ers for bearing with my constant sloppiness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tednor (talk • contribs) 09:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

"First time she had worked with outside producers"
"first time she had worked with outside producers, having self-produced her previous recordings (although she never took credit for that)" - OK; even ignoring the fact that I find it hard to believe she produced ALL her previous UK sessions; I know that she had previously worked with Burt Bacharach on the soundtrack version of "Look Of Love" and Jerry Ragovoy on "What's It Gonna Be" & "The Corrupt Ones" and I can't exactly see THEM letting her produce sessions they were in charge of.

The song "Goodbye".
It would appear that the composer information, given for this track, actually relates to a track called "Learn to Say Goodbye", which was not recorded until 09/10/1972. (source dusty-springfield.com).

The credited composers for "Goodbye" were Johann Sebastian Bach and Norma Tanega (source www.mp3lyrics.org).

They are two very different songs! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laeotaekhun (talk • contribs) 03:23, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

it appears it was corrected, but to make sure the error is not repeated, the song "Goodbye" was written by Roland Chambers and Leonard Pakula, recorded in Philadelphia in 1970 and previously unreleased. The Norma Tanega song was issued under the same title on The Dusty Springfield Anthology (1997), but the proper title for that song (and the title it is released under in other compilations) is "Go My Love". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.30.48 (talk) 01:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

UK Albums Chart Position
At what position did this album peak at on the UK Albums Chart (if any?) --Ryanadamsfan (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The album was released in England at a time when, oddly, the UK album chart was reduced to just 15 positions for a brief period. Her last two albums peaked at #40 and #30, respectively, so under these circumstances it understandably stalled outside the Top 15 official chart. Sales were good for the album and I recall reading had the chart been it's normal size the album would've likely peaked around #20, but since I can't remember the reference it'll stay out of the article.

"Dusty in Memphis was first transferred from vinyl to CD by Philips Records/PolyGram and re-released in the UK/Europe in 1988."
No source is given for this statement in the article. What is it based on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.218.89 (talk) 23:01, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

First release of Dusty in Memphis outside the USA
In 1968, Dusty was signed to Atlantic for the USA only. She was still with Philips outside the USA. Canadian release British release  Steelbeard1 (talk) 02:01, 18 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Not only are those sources unreliable (WP:SPS), they do not disprove the notion the U.S. release was the first; they only show the year of release. According to what is cited in Dusty_in_Memphis, the earliest known release date was the U.S. date of January 31, 1969. And the U.S. release was released by Atlantic. So we stick with Atlantic.
