A Very Fine Love

A Very Fine Love is the fourteenth studio album recorded by singer Dusty Springfield, and thirteenth released.

A Very Fine Love was to be promoted by the TV documentary Full Circle, a 90-minute career retrospective featuring British comedians Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French interviewing Springfield in their inimitably irreverent way – Springfield herself was a big fan of French & Saunders' and their goonish sense of humor – as well as interviews with friends, fans and colleagues such as the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello and Martha Reeves, and footage from the recording of the upcoming Nashville album.

When promoting the album in the UK on TV-show Later With Jools Holland, Springfield performed the track live, backed by Sinéad O'Connor and Alison Moyet.

[1] Upon its release, Sarra Manning of Melody Maker called A Very Fine Love Springfield's "Nashville" album, with "loads of duff, cod country songs without any discernible tunes, a faux sincere duet with Daryl Hall and lots of histrionic guitar twiddling from session musicians".

"[4] David Quantick of NME considered it to be "beautifully made soul-pop with a couple of country-style moments" and noted Springfield can "still sing better than anyone else".
