All by Myself (Shirley Bassey album)


All by Myself is a 1982 album by Shirley Bassey. Having ended her contract with United Artists around 1980, Bassey took a break from recording, and then began releasing albums on various labels. All by Myself was the first of these, issued on the Applause label. 1982 was the dawn of the CD era, and this was her first-ever album to be issued on CD. The album was also issued on LP and cassette. In the UK and some other countries, the album was titled Love Songs, with identical cover art, and under that name it charted for five weeks on the UK albums chart, on the K-tel label, peaking at #48.
The original CD has since become scarce, though the songs have appeared on many compilations.
