reach for the stars.
As a mere lad of 33 who has been a fan of my "Auntie Shirley" since I was 8 years old(the year the 25th anniversary albulm came out) I suggest this is a good collection for those new to the "Queen of Wales". Everything from History Repeating to the early songs like Burn My Candle and as I Love You. I really like the 6 new songs also, especially Mi Amor. Me thinks it's the gypsy in me-lol

Great introduction to a legend
When I first heard about this CD I wasn't sure. Most of her recent compilations include re-recordings of her Fifties hits so when I heard these ones were originals I bought it because it looked good. It has a very nice selection of hits. The first 6 six new songs aren't bad. It's nice to have her recent singles however these aren't her best songs. Diamonds Are Forever shouldn't be live. We want the original of this! I Am What I Am is worth listening to though. Then follows an endless segue of Bassey classics; Something will grow on you, with it's refreshing disco beat and smooth flow, then the two FABULOUS Bond themes. These are true hook-laden masterpieces. The next three were all very big 60s hits for her. They're dramatic - I'm sure those three are all from musicals. As is the next, Reach For The Stars, her 2nd and last UK No.1 hit. But why isn't the other side of this No.1 double a-side, Climb Ev'ry Mountain included? The remastering on this CD is excellent so it would have been good to see that one get similar treatment. The next part is from my personal best Shirley era. The energy which she gives to the eternal Kiss Me Honey is unmissable. As I Love You is a ballad of epic 50s proportions. Her first No.1 and up there with the others. Shame it doesn't get more recognition. Nice to see The Banana Boat Song on a Shirley compilation at last. Much better than the version with which she competed at the time by Harry Belafonte, it's a catchy little number which you can't resist. Finally, Burn My Candle (At Both Ends) is a great jazz song. It proves to you she can do jazz and stamp her mark all over it. It sounds like it was written for her. Shame it wasn't a hit - probably because of the risque lyric which was silly in the first place. Good idea to finish with the opening track in a new style, but I don't usually listen to it. Worth buying for the middle section alone.
