Shirley Bassey erupted on to the British music scene in 1958 and is still a force to be reckoned with 50 years later. She was sassy and irreverant and this release showcases her early recordings and for the first time brings all the tracks from her 8 track Born To Sing The Blues album together on a single CD.
* 27 original recordings.
* ‘Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me’ and ‘As I Love You’ were both top 3 chart hits simultaneously.
* Features Bassey’s first ever hit ‘The Banana Boat Song’.
* ‘As I Love You’, now a Bassey classic, spent four weeks at No.1.
* ‘Burn My Candle’, her first single, was banned by the BBC for its suggestive lyrics. Its B-side ‘Stormy Weather’ is also included.
* All original recordings digitally remastered.
