Sleeve Note

An entirely atypical collection of Shirley Bassey's work with EMI Records from 1961 to 1968. I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE goes a long way towards dispelling the "Brassy Bassey" persona of the wildly over the top performer of such melodramatic classics as the James Bond themes "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds Are Forever."

Instead, these 24 songs are downright restrained, largely consisting of tastefully orchestrated torch song classics like "What Now My Love," "Fools Rush In," and "This Love of Mine." Though Bassey does more than credible work with well-known standards like "Moon River" and "I Get a Kick Out of You," the best tracks here are the lesser-known gems, which give her more of an opportunity to make the songs truly her own.
