Dice Fred Dellar en el Mojo que Diana Dors fue la respuesta de Swindon (hogar de los XTC) a Marylin Monroe y Bob Stanley en The Guardian (http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/story/0,,2159059,00.html) cambia a Marilyn por Brigitte Bardott... Sea como fuera, esta actriz inglesa de los 50 –mayormente recordada entre generaciones posteriores por salir en un vídeo clip de Adam & The Ants o por ser portada de un recopilatorio de The Smiths- vuelve a ser actualidad porque Castle ha reeditado su único lp, "Swingin´ Dors". A la chica le pusieron todo un lujo de equipo para que cantase standards a ritmo de swing y para mi esto suena como música celestial... El Mojo le da 4 estrellas y bien que se las merece. Más info en http://www.dianadors.co.uk/ Esto es lo que comenta un cliente de amazon.co.uk que se hace llamar Pollyowner:This is the long-awaited release of the CD of the fabulous 'Swingin' Dors' album. This was Britain's most glamorous star of the fifties. Diana Dors had all the Hollywood style and glamour, but remained truly British. She was one of only a handful of glamour stars from that period that did not sell herself for leading roles in big pictures - hence she lost out on many major films, but those she did make were extremely memorable. She was a great star and had all the glamour right to the end - indeed the whole TV screen would 'light up' whenever she appeared - here she left us a tremendous legacy - apart from her films, in this original recording from her big year 1960! There are twelve great songs and she had a great voice to match on this. One song is from a movie she starred in (but did not sing the song in the film) 'An Alligator Named Daisy', called: 'I'm In Love For The Very First Time'. Some catchy numbers on this. Diana Dors did not release enough material at the time, but today she would have had more scope and opportunity to utilise her multi-talents. She was from a time when multi-talented stars were pretty thin on the ground. It's incredible that it has taken SO long for this album to be issued on CD - more than 23 years after her untimely death. Indeed, her album wasn't even re-released on vinyl until two years after she had died, and puzzling still, that there was no issue of a CD at that time either. In total since, there have been six releases of her same work in various formats; original 1960 black vinyl, a 1960 collector's 'special' pressed on red vinyl, the re-issue in black vinyl in 1986, a cassette tape, and also a 'picture disc' of the album appeared in small numbers, and now of course finally at long last the CD we've all been waiting for - I have them all - they're worth collecting! The songs here are memorable and very well sang with a great 'swingin' big brass band! Like she never made a bad film; Diana did not record a bad song. No genuine fan should be without this album - it's tremendous, fabulous, and simply fantastic! Once played, you will want to hear it again
