In 1968, Dusty Springfield was already an international superstar with 15 hits under her belt for the Philips label when she decided it was time to for a change. What followed was one of the most legendary and momentous label moves in pop music history: Dusty decamped to Atlantic Records, where, under the tutelage of Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin, she recorded one of the greatest albums of all time, Dusty in Memphis, and scored such indelible hits as 'Son-of-a Preacher Man' and 'The Windmills of Your Mind' before moving on to Philly soul ('A Brand New Me). We at Real Gone Music have closely examined this crucial period in Dusty's career over the years, with three previous releases. But there remains one facet of her Atlantic period which has remained largely untouched: her singles. The Complete Atlantic Singles1968-1971 presents the A and B-sides of all dozen singles she recorded for the label in their original mono single mixes, only eight of which have previously appeared on CD.

Quincy Delight Jones Jr.’s achievements as a multi Grammy- and Oscar-winning record producer, musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, as well as a film and television producer are the stuff of legends. His incredible career, which spans 70 years in the entertainment industry, began in the 1950s – when the young man from the South Side of Chicago started out as a Jazz trumpeter, soon becoming a popular arranger and successful band leader.

Der Ernst Klett Verlag übernahm 1977 den 1659 gegründeten Cotta-Verlag. In Verbindung mit den bis dahin belletristisch-wissenschaftlichen Anteilen des Ernst-Klett-Verlages wurde der „Klett-Cotta-Verlag“ gebildet, während der Ernst Klett Verlag sich anschließend als reiner Schulbuchverlag etablierte. Beide Verlage sind seit 1995 Teil der Klett Gruppe. Im November 2007 übernahmen die Verleger des unabhängigen Tropen Verlags, Michael Zöllner und Tom Kraushaar, die verlegerische Geschäftsführung des Klett-Cotta-Verlages und erhielten an ihm eine Beteiligung. Tropen wird seit Januar 2008 als Imprint von Klett-Cotta geführt. 2018 verließ der verlegerische Geschäftsführer Michael Zöllner den Klett-Cotta-Verlag. Der kaufmännische Leiter Andreas Falkinger wurde kaufmännischer Geschäftsführer. Seit 2019 führt der Tropen Verlag seine Geschäfte von Berlin aus.
