Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty is the second studio album by singer Dusty Springfield, released on Philips records in 1965. Springfield's 1964 debut album, A Girl Called Dusty, sold well enough to make her Philips Records' top selling female artist. For this, her second album, Philips presented it in a gatefold sleeve and included extensive liner notes. While including a number of fairly standard "pop" songs, Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty also saw Springfield venturing more into show tunes like Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)? as well as the soul music for which Springfield became so well-known for singing. Doodlin' and That's How Heartaches Are Made were minor hits for Baby Washington, one of Springfield's personal favorite singers. Springfield also included the song La Bamba, which was a popular concert number for her, though not in step with the general style of the album.

In the '60s it was fairly common for hit singles to be left off albums, as it was assumed that if someone was buying the album, they already had the singles. After Springfield's song You Don't Have to Say You Love Me became a huge hit though, the album was re-titled after the song and released in the USA thusly, though with a slightly different track listing, including You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, in order to capitalize on the success of the single, which hit #1 in Britain (the only #1 of her career there), and #4 in the USA.

Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty was released to CD for the first time in 1999, and in 2004 a re-mastered version which included extra tracks was released.
