Shirley Bassey Remixed and Re-Released
From New Musical Express, Jun 13 2000

SHIRLEY BASSEY'S single 'WHERE DO I BEGIN' is to be remixed and re-released on July 10 through EMI. The single will be reworded by production duo awayTEAM. It is the first track to be lifted from 'Diamonds Are Forever - The Remix Album', a collection of Bassey classics remixed by contemporary names such as Mantronik, Nightmares On Wax, Groove Armada, Moloko and Propellerheads.

The awayTEAM, Ian Davenport and Andy Lovegrove, claim to have chosen 'Where Do I Begin', the theme to the film 'Love Story', as it was a favourite of their mothers'

Ian said: "As kids, our mums seemed to watch Love Story endlessly so the song is familiar to us on a subconscious level firstly." Of their own track Andy added: "Shirley's version was very groovy and we thought we could expand on that. We felt it always needed a Tony Bennett-style swinging chorus so we gave it one." awayTEAM have also just recorded a song for a movie themselves. Their tune appeared on the soundtrack of the screen adaptation of Iain Banks' novel 'Complicity'.
 
Promo Video Note

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Shirley Bassey... "Where Do I Begin" is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming Shirley Bassey Remix Album 'History repeats' containing remixes of classic Bassey songs by the likes of Kenny Dope, Propellerheads, Groove Armada and Moloko to name but a few. 'Where Do I Begin' has been remixed by The AwayTEAM who describe it as "Sassy, Bond-style-sex, romance and glamour.' Throughout the forthcoming album and throughout the ever-progressing musical world there remains one undeniable, unmistakable, lip quivering, unique constant - the voice that is Shirley Bassey!
 
Another Message

... The first track to be released is 'Where Do I Begin', the song from the classic '70's film 'Love Story'. That's been remixed by the AwayTEAM, who told Radio 1 they're still waiting to meet the legend. Apparently, Bassey loves the new arrangement and they'd love to perform it with her: "She could do her own version! She's very slinky. She's a bit old but she's very glamorous," they laughed.
