Exciting news! There is to be a new DVD released on 12th July entitled ‘Shirley Bassey: On TV’. This DVD will comprise of some of her past TV appearances including the Royal Variety Performance. This DVD is not being released by the BBC so I doubt there will be any clips from her TV series (either of them) on it. It is still great news for fans who have been asking for something new on DVD for ages. The following is what Play.com have to say about it on their site:
This DVD brings together some of Dame Shirley Bassey’s finest performances, taken from various shows including the Royal Variety Performance and An Audience With.
Dame Shirley Bassey Britain’s biggest female singer performs her greatest hits on this DVD, including Goldfinger, Music, Love Story, Diamonds Are Forever, Kiss Me Honey, Honey, Something, Big Spender, Send In The Clowns and many more.
Featuring Special Guests – Rolf Harris, Englebert Humperdinck and Les Dawson.
It is available to order from HMV (cheapest at the moment), Play.com, Zavvi and lovefilm.com. The catalogue number is ITNDVD017.
I’m sure if this DVD sells well then it may encourage the BBC to release some of the shows they have of Shirley. Let’s hope so.

Thank you Ed . This is indeed exciting news. After all those years finally what all of DSB fans were waiting for. When we all buy a copy BBC will understand that DSB fans, young and old, never stop loving her. Thanks

Great news – hope it gets lots of pre-release publicity. Maybe DSB will appear on some chat shows (re-visit Paul O’Grady and Graham Norton?) and sing a couple of numbers to promote it.
To Ed Abramowitz ……. if it is produced only for European Area DVD players you will not be able to play it if your player only plays US region DVDs. It might be worth investing in one of the players specially designed to play DVDs from any region.

Thanks Ed for continuing to keep me informed on Shirley’s news. My daughter is a great
Shirley Bassey fan, she never used to be but the older she’s got , the more sense he has. I don’t drive anymore and am now religated to a mobility scooter. My dear daughter
however takes me where I want to go. I’m hoping she will take me to the next Shirley concert, I should have some new hearing aids by then and hopefully may be able to hear what’s being sung.
Unfortunately she doesn’t have a computer or I would give her your email address.

How exciting to get another new DVD from our greatest singer in this universe!!! I think it is about time for BBC to release some of their hidden treasures of the Dame. Not all the garbage they released in the BBC shops in Sydney. Please release the – ” Electric Proms and Imagine ” on DVD. Many years ago, I used to send my friends to look for Shirley Bassey DVD in Wales and in England when they went for their tours. Naturally, they came back empty handed!!

I was hoping that the BBC would release the Electric Proms show on DVD but there is a note on The Electric Proms site that the BBC will not be releasing any of the Electric Proms on DVD. Apparently, they do not own the rights to the concerts. The rights are held by the record label of the individaul performers and is is up to the record compnay to do any DVD releases of the concerts.
