Reputation and Rarities is the name of a repackaged/re-released version of a studio album by British singer Dusty Springfield, Reputation. In late 1987, there was a resurgence of interest in Springfield's career, which was a direct result of her work with Pet Shop Boys on the duet "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", released in November of the same year. The single reached #2 in the USA and #1 in Britain, Springfield's highest simultaneous charting single ever. Springfield then worked with Pet Shop Boys on two further solo singles "Nothing Has Been Proved", originally from movie Scandal, and "In Private", both Top 20 hits for Springfield. The culmination of Springfield's new success was the album Reputation, released in 1990. The original album was released only in Britain and charted as high as #18, Springfield's first hit album in her native country in over twenty years. In 1997, the album was re-released (this time in America as well) as Reputation and Rarities, and included the entire Reputation album, along with two tracks recorded for the album, but never used or released until then. Also included was "Getting It Right", B-side to single "Arrested By You", and a 12" mix of the biggest hit from the album, "In Private". Reputation and Rarities was later given a second re-release by EMI Holland's mid-price label Disky Communications, then repackaged with a third set of cover art.
