The soulful songbird had relocated to Los Angeles in an effort to focus on her American career but had suffered from her infamous insecurity which caused her to abandon an album in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Dusty was courted by longtime admirer \u003cstrong\u003eElton John\u003c\/strong\u003e for his Rocket Records label, when she returned to recording in 1977, Dusty chose United Artists Records for her new home. Young songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eSteve Dorff\u003c\/strong\u003e was assigned to produce a pair of his compositions with Dusty from which to choose a kick-off single release. Although \"\u003cem\u003eLet Me Love You Once Before You Go\u003c\/em\u003e\" only briefly bubbled under the Billboard Hot 100, it set the stage for follow up sessions headed by Queen producer \u003cstrong\u003eRoy Thomas Baker\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result, \u003cem\u003eIT BEGINS AGAIN\u003c\/em\u003e, was heralded as Dusty's comeback in 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tracks on \u003cem\u003eIT BEGINS AGAIN\u003c\/em\u003e reflect a mature Dusty covering a variety of genres: pop, rock, soul and disco. Baker surrounded her withthe cream of the west coast studio musicians and Dusty brought her A-game to the project. Projecting both warmth and fragility, her voice expressed new textures and techniques which were new to her sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe would pursue a somewhat softer approach with her second UA album, \u003cem\u003eLIVING WITHOUT YOUR LOVE\u003c\/em\u003e, from 1979. This sophomore set, produced by David Wolfert for the Entertainment Company, focused on soulful pop with a little light dance music in the mix. In both \u003cem\u003eLIVING WITHOUT YOUR LOVE\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eIT BEGINS AGAIN\u003c\/em\u003e, it was clear that Dusty had regained both her confidence and joy as a songbird supreme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this 2-LP\/2-CD set, we’ve added five non-LP bonus tracks including the promotional-only extended mix of \"\u003cem\u003eThat's The Kind of Love I've Got For You\u003c\/em\u003e\" by the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eTom Moulton\u003c\/strong\u003e that put Dusty on the Billboard dance charts and set the stage for her smash collaboration with the \u003cstrong\u003ePet Shop Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e a decade later. Most of the tracks have been pulled from the original American masters for the first time, and the whole collection’s been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision. Joe Marchese’s notes amply fill an LP-sized 4-page insert boasting rarely seen period photography.
