  2. It would be nice if the original mono album was made available so we could at least hear one version of the album as originally intended even if the stereo version is lost. I’ve put together a version in my iTunes with mono mixes from US releases and various compilations that I’m happy with but I have no idea if it’s authentic or not.

  3. Oh thanks Shane. That’s great in one way in that I haven’t bought the box to be disappointed but it’s a shame that the original isn’t available.

    I’m no expert but anyway… The original LP was released in mono and stereo versions. I read somewhere that an early CD issue of the album was a needle drop of the stereo LP (supposedly because the stereo masters were lost) but I’ve never seen a copy. When Dusty’s albums were re-mastered and re-released in the late 90s a stereo version of A Girl Called Dusty was created with new stereo mixes of some tracks, mono versions of others and stereo mixes using alternate takes for Anyone Who Had a Heart and You Don’t Own Me. I’ve always assumed it’s because they had multi tracks of those 6 songs and the 2 alternate takes that they opted to go for stereo where they could and mono where they couldn’t. Anyway, this is the only version currently available in the UK.

  4. @EW99 it is “and don’t tell me what do, oh-oh-oh” on the box. Just got it today.
    But could you please explain the chronology of this album and its versions? It’s fascinating and I don’t have sufficient knowledge.

  6. Ok they are indeed very very different (I just checked on the 17 times I have the song in my iTunes library (based on my own CD rips)). So i will have no trouble telling you once I get the box. :)

  7. Thanks Shane. Well the main thing will be that the old version will almost certainly be mono as I don’t believe there’s a stereo mix available. Otherwise the first easy thing to look out for would be in You Don’t Own Me; at 1:45 she sings either “and don’t tell me what do, yeah-eah-eah” on the original but “and don’t tell me what do, oh-oh-oh” on the new version.

  8. That Duran concert DVD is great, although not quite as good as the 2005 reunion tour DVD, as that has a better setlist and Andy T is playing guitar of course. My favourite DD concert film release though is of the special gig they did with David Lynch as part of the AYNIN promotion, which has now been released in some countries and is a fantastic watch what with all Mr Lynch’s weirdness going on onscreen. Well worth importing and cheap as chips too. Quality is same as other DD releases.

  9. EW99 I will order it now. I can check for you when I get it, however you need to tell me how to recognize them easily, as I have not played her albums too often (don’t want to wear out Dusty!).

  11. I don’t suppose anyone knows if the first album in the Dusty collection is the original version or the 1997 release with alternate vocals/stereo remixes? None of the online stores are saying.
