5 out of 5 stars AGELESS DAME SHIRLEY   July 11, 2007
Dr. Jose Santos Carvalho (Portugal)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

There comes a time when a Dame has the right to rest and forget the world! Not only because she has earned a rest, but mostly because she has nothing to offer!!! With Dame Shirley Bassey, The Party Has Just Started could be the name of this FABULOUS! album... Perfect new mixes and recordings of her greatest hits, with an edge of timeless modernity. Thank You, Dame Shirley, for everything, and for showing us that there's still beauty, class and style, in your timeless renditions of these songs!


5 out of 5 stars Shirley's party has started!!   May 30, 2007

Based on the bond-esque Living Tree and samples already available on-line and other tracks played on the radio this is going to be a great album. The title says it all and the party has started for all of Dame Shirley's fans, new and old. She really puts her own stamp on tracks like "I Will Survive" which is as far removed from the Gloria Gaynor version as you could imagine. Remixes of Where Is The Love and Big Spender take them into the 21st century and Cagedbaby's remix of This Is My Life is as cool as ice!. And who could forget Shirley's version of Get The Party Started from the MS TV adverts?. It's going to be a great party! Don't miss out!


5 out of 5 stars Old but new big sound   June 15, 2007

She is a Dame! The diva was made a Dame in the 1999 New Year's honours list (the BBC report is still on their website.) Using that title is something her generation for serious musicians do - compare Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth. They are recognised for their contribution so why not use the title to celebrate a milestone in her career. br / br /More importantly, Dame Shirley still has a big sound and humour in her delivery. (Listen for the slight giggle in the "kiss my **** " line of "Get The Party Started".) The set list on the CD fits together well and is a great selection of standards across the generations: fitting for a celebration of a career that has spanned so many years. br / br /Time to join the party!


5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking !!!!!   June 25, 2007

I was apprehensive when I heard this album was going to be made up of new arrangements of The great Bassey hits as i am such an ardent fan. When I inserted it in my cd player I was instantly blown away by the sophistication and freshness of these recordings. I truly believe this album is going to to be one of the true classics of the 21st century. A Masterpiece !! Well done Dame Shirley, you have nailed it this time.


5 out of 5 stars Let;s get the star rating started   May 29, 2007

When did the name of an act or a band EVER have anything to do with the quality of their music or popularity. Come off it sound advice. Listen to the pre release tracks on Shirley's web sits and you'll hear that the voice is as good as ever - the rhythms are fresh and the sound is geared up to sell to all of Shirley's fans, including the gay community who continue to adore her. "Let's get the party started' would have had a top 3 rating if her record company could have had the imagination to release it when the ads were on. It would be good too if her record company could keep to their publicised release dates as well. So Shirley it's 5 stars.
