Overview

Reputation is the thirteenth studio album by British singer Dusty Springfield, and twelfth released. Issued on the Parlophone Records label in the UK and the rest of Europe in June 1990, Reputation was not only Springfield's first studio album in eight years at the time but also her first album to be released in her native UK since 1979's Living Without Your Love. After a string of commercially overlooked albums through the late 1970s and early 1980s Reputation finally managed to resurrect Springfield's career and belatedly resulted in her being re-evaluated and recognised by both music critics and the general public as the UK's foremost 'blue-eyed soul' singer. Mainly produced by Pet Shop Boys and Julian Mendelsohn and recorded in the UK over a period of some eighteen months, Reputation became her highest charting and best-selling album in the UK since 1970's From Dusty with Love, peaking at No. 18 and selling 60,000 copies within two weeks of its release. Background In late 1987, Springfield was beginning to look back towards the UK as a source of recording work, due in large part to her collaboration with Pet Shop Boys on their single "What Have I Done to Deserve This?". Pet Shop Boys had contacted Springfield's manager to ask if Springfield would perform guest vocals on the duet. Being a fan of their work, Springfield accepted the offer and the song became a massive hit all over the world, peaking at No. 2 in both the UK and the United States, which proved to be the biggest hit of her career in the US. A brand new greatest hits album The Silver Collection also proved highly popular achieving Platinum status and charting in the UK at No. 14. This renewed Springfield's confidence in recording, as well as interest in her work from the general public, and led to another hit single "Nothing Has Been Proved", also written by Pet Shop Boys with Springfield in mind. The song was written for the movie Scandal, an account of the so-called Profumo affair of 1963, starring Joanne Whalley and John Hurt. "Nothing Has Been Proved" made the Top 20 in Britain, and led to yet another hit single, "In Private", which peaked at No. 14 on the British charts. Despite the fact that "In Private" never was commercially released in the US it managed to become a dance-floor hit in the States as well, peaking at No. 14 on Billboards Hot Dance Club Play chart in early 1990.

Notable quotes

“I hold it as certain, that no man was ever written out of reputation but by himself.”
— Richard Bentley, as quoted in William Warburton's The Works of Alexander Pope, Vol. IV (1751), note on p. 159
“The love of esteem is the life and soul of society; it unites us to one another : I want your approbation, you stand in need of mine. By forsaking the converse of men, we forsake the virtues necessary for society; for when one is alone, one is apt to grow negligent; the world forces you to have a guard over yourself.”
— Marquise de Lambert, A Mother's Advice to Her Son (1726), p. 155.
“The art of being able to make a good use of moderate abilities wins esteem and often confers more reputation than real merit.”
— Also translated as: "The art of using moderate abilities to advantage wins praise, and often acquires more reputation than real brilliancy."
“See that your character is right, and in the long run your reputation will be right.”
— Author unknown, reported in Hialmer Day Gould and Edward Louis Hessenmueller, Best Thoughts of Best Thinkers (1904), p. 429.
“Reputation is but a synonyme of popularity: dependent on suffrage, to be increased or diminished at the will of the voters.”
— Anna Brownell Jameson, Memoirs and Essays, Washington Allston.
“The two most precious things this side the grave are our reputation and our life.”
— Charles Caleb Colton, p. 511.
