Alright Eddie...........no fair giving the old guy a heart attack!!!

I thought we were basically through with Miss Shirley's career, as splendid as it has been. But this sounds like Must Have listening.

Granted they did not consult me for the track listings because if they had, there would have been a few others included, but then again, I realize that it would be quite difficult to please all the people all the time when trying to salute such an icon. So this will do quite nicely for an early '25 purchase.

So as I have said many times over..............KEEP THEM COMING!!!!

Duplication

This 3-CD set was scheduled for release about 12 years ago but cancelled because Capitol couldn't clear the live CD. I managed to snag a bootleg back then because I am a Bassey completist. I am thrilled that a commercial release will finally see the light of day.

DavidDesper when you refer to it as a "duplication" what do you mean?

Does the new stereo mix of the single version of "Goldfinger" fix the incorrect notes sung on the original release?

I have an important question, does anybody know, if La Vita totally sing in italian. There exists to versions English/ITALIAN AND ONLY ITALIAN
