Introducing The Springfields
Written by admin on June 4, 2013 – 7:40 pm -One Day Music has released a great value collection of 42 songs that Dusty Springfield recorded during her time with The Springfields and The Lana Sisters between 1958 and 1963.
The 2-CD collection provides a great insight into Springfield’s early career, before she became one of the most successful female solo artists of the 1960s.
Dusty joined The Lana Sisters vocal group in 1958, alongside Riss Chantelle and Lynne Abrams. During Dusty’s two years with the group, they released a number of singles, appeared on television shows such as the BBC’s “Drumbeat,” and played live shows across the UK and Europe. This was all invaluable performance experience for Dusty which she would put to good use when she formed The Springfields folk group in 1960 with her brother Dion O’Brien and Tim Feild (replaced by Mike Hurst in 1962).
Disc One of the “Introducing The Springfields” collection features 28 of The Springfields’ recordings, including the complete debut album “Kinda Folksy” and the group’s only hit single “Silver Threads and Golden Needles”. Disc Two includes the A and B-sides of The Lana Sisters singles that were released on Fontana Records from 1959 to 1960.
