Dusty – The Silver Collection is a compilation album by English singer Dusty Springfield, released by Philips Records in 1988. It includes most of Springfield's singles.

Promotion

Before the compilation's release, Springfield's 1963 debut single, "I Only Want to Be with You", which originally reached number four in the UK singles chart was re-issued. It had recently been used in a Britvic 55 soft drinks advertisement, in which Springfield appeared in person. The re-issue reached number 83 in the UK singles chart in January 1988.

AllMusic

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek described the compilation as "perhaps the most telling portrait yet of the late Ms. Springfield's diversity as a pop singer and the enduring popularity of her classic vocal style", though he noted that "he recordings here are not grouped chronologically, giving the set a kind of untrackable feel, but on repeated listening, making perfect sense."
