Arrested by you - Dusty Springfield

'Arrested by you' was the last single taken from Dusty Springfield's 1990 album 'Reputation'. Although the track resembled some of the more laidback Pet Shop Boys tracks, it was actually prouced by the unknown producer Paul Staveley O'Duffy.

The single was not a big success, stalling at number 70 during a two week chart run in the UK singles chart. Dusty Springfield disappeared from the scene once again, resurfacing only three years later with 'Heart and soul', a duet with Cilla Black.

My collection: 7" single no. 3057
Found: House of Rhythm, London, May 9, 1993
Cost: 1 pound
Tracks: 'Arrested by you' / 'Arrested by you (instrumental)'

  1. This is one of my fave all time ballads and one of my great fave songs from the album Reputation (title track, In private, Daydreaming, and "any other fool" included later on "Reputation & rarities" - 1997 release).
    "arrested by you" deserved a higher chart position, it´s the most sensual ballad in the album, more sensual and sexy than the classic and always fashionable "The Look of love". I´ve heard another version (of "arrested by you") in the OST of the movie "Better off dead", don´t remember who performs there, a very poor version compared to that by Dusty.-
