Shirley Bassey - Reach for the Stars: The Rise of the Tigress 1956-62 [LP]

From Tiger Bay in Cardiff to worldwide stardom, Shirley Bassey became the great voice of dramatic British pop. Reach for the Stars: The Rise of the Tigress follows her from early Philips singles to her years with EMI's Columbia label. It includes 'As I Love You', which made her the first Welsh artist with a UK No. 1, plus 'Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me', 'The Banana Boat Song' and her signature 'As Long As He Needs Me'.

Many tracks feature lush orchestrations by Norman Newell, Geoff Love and Nelson Riddle. Compiled by reissue specialists Acrobat on a single LP.
