This album deserve a 5 stars rating. Featuring such 90's spin classics like "light my fire" (sampled by J.Dilla, Peanut Butter Wolf,... to name a few), "spinning wheel", "easy to be hard"...
Awesome orchestral soul carried by the powerful voice of madame Bassey 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is worth owning for the cover Light My Fire alone. it sizzles. Look up the video on YouTube.

Nice album for a cheap dig - belting covers of 'Spinning Wheel' and 'Light My Fire'. Some nice session musicians in the studio, almost has a David Axlerod feel to some of the numbers.

On my copy, A3 and B6 are swapped on the record and on the record labels, but not on the cover. Is this generally so?

Some great tracks on here...I never realised Shirley Bassey was so funky.

Good solid effort with tasteful covers. Shirley could really belt it out, but had the ability to include nuanced emotion through out the song. This record chooses a set of pieces that fit her strengths and allow her to showcase her interpretations. Many records of this era and style wear you down with one song after another of what sounds like in tune yelling. Here there is enough variety and the vinyl format really allows her voice to breath. Shirley's cover of the Beatle's (George Harrison) Something is a particular treat and ranks among the better Beatle's covers. The orchestrations compliment the singer and have aged well. If the wa-wa guitar makes an occasional appearance, but does not detract and actually sounds more fun then dated. I would highly recommend this classy record, especially for date night.
