White Heat is a fascinating album and a total departure from Dusty's usual style.Recorded in the early 80's it was originally only available in North America.
The album was made during Dusty's tempestous relationship with Carole Pope, the singer with the Canadian band, Rough Trade. It's hard edged, funky and angst ridden. From the synth laden Donnez Moi, the reggae influenced I Am Curious, the funk rock of Blind Sheep, this album probably reflects Dusty's true self more than any of her others.
The stand out track is the final one; Soft Core. Written by Carole Pope, it could only be about Dusty herself. Utterly brilliant and only Dusty could sing a song like that.
That Voice is still there and thumps you in the chest like no other singer.
This is not like Dusty In Memphis or as Dusty herself would put it "Big Ballady Things." However, I think it's one of her best and most honest albums.

This is not the Dusty of the 60s whatsoever. This is a really great album which received absolutely no promotion from Casablanca, the original label in 1982. Dusty was doing what she wanted to do and the results are astounding. The opening track, "Donnez Moi" should have been a dance hit internationally. Every song is great and this album should have done for Dusty what "Broken English" did for Marianne Faithfull and that is to break the mold both artists were pegged in. If there were any tracks that did not make it to this album and are in the vault, no one seems to know. I'd love to hear more from the sessions from this album. It deserves to have been remastered and reissued. Don't just stick with the 60s Dusty material. Go for this one and just try to sit still! I find it odd that the only two reviews are from Americans! "White Heat" is hot and it is Dusty branching out into new terrain and it is worth a Five star rating. This is a classic album that few heard when it was released. Now is the time to buy it and love it. "White Heat" is a Hot Dusty Springfield album!!! Give it a go!!!

White Heat, Dusty Springfield's lost masterpiece from 1982, is finally found! This highly charged album is sheer majesty. Although this electrified material was a real departure for Dusty Springfield, she rules over the fierce, funky and sexy songs like the genius that she was. Be prepared to be astounded. Blind Sheep stands among Dusty's most phenomenal recordings. An angry Dusty soars through the incredible lyrics, and you can feel the fire coming out of her nose. It is worth buying this album for this song alone, but the heat doesn't stop there. Soft Core, a stunning Marlene Dietrich style ballad written by Carole Pope and Kevan Staples, is a must hear. And there is still more lava. Every cut is molten gold. This knock out of an album erupts and arouses like nothing else I have ever heard. In my book, this is one of the best recordings ever made by anyone anywhere. A must have, but beware, it might ignite your cd player.

I only recently got interested in Dusty Springfield but I find this album very compelling, if in quite a different direction from the songs she is best known for. Read more

A good friend brought this back from the States for me. It was a USA only Casablanca release. Would it be disco? Read more
