Background
Just like the preceding Stay Awhile/I Only Want to Be with You, Dusty comprises tracks from Springfield's UK debut album A Girl Called Dusty as well as recordings from UK singles and EP's. The album also includes tracks from the very first recordings Springfield made in the United States as a solo performer. A total of eight tracks were recorded in New York in September 1964, produced by Shelby Singleton Jr., some of which were first issued in the UK on the 1965 EP Dusty in New York, others as single B-sides, while some in fact would remain unreleased in Springfield's native Britain for more than thirty years, until they had their debut as bonus tracks on the digitally remastered edition of the 1965 UK album Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty - issued in 1998.
Dusty combined with Stay Awhile/I Only Want to Be With You was first released on CD as a single-disc compilation by the minor label Taragon Records in 1997 with stereo mixes created by Eliot Goshman. In 1999 the album was digitally remastered and re-issued by Mercury Records/Universal Music, then as a separate album and featuring three bonus tracks.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
