It was released as single Scepter 1236 ( B - side `` And I Never Knew '' ) in May 1962, but did not chart. The song served as the title track for Hunt 's sole album release on Scepter released in April 1963. The success in the UK of the Dusty Springfield version of `` I Just Do n't Know... '' in the summer of 1964 led to Scepter 's re-releasing the original, at which time it reached the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in Billboard with a # 119 peak. It would appear however that the first version of this song to be recorded was not by Hunt but by Chuck Jackson also in 1962. Jackson 's version was shelved and remained unreleased until it appeared on a 1984 compilation on the Kent record label called `` Mr. Emotion ''. According to the sleeve notes of that album, Tommy Hunt 's vocals were substituted for Jackson 's whilst the original backing track was retained. Dusty Springfield version Dusty Springfield recorded `` I Just Do n't Know What to Do with Myself '' in a session at Olympic Studios in Westminster with production credited to Philips Records owner Johnny Franz - although Springfield later stated her solo Philips tracks were self - produced - and arranged by Ivor Raymonde who conducted his orchestra ; personnel on the session included Big Jim Sullivan on guitar and Bobby Graham on drums. Springfield, whose first solo recordings had included covers of the Bacharach / David compositions `` Anyone Who Had a Heart '' and `` Wishin ' and Hopin ' '' - had brought back `` I Just Do n't Know... '' from an overnight trip to New York City where she met up with Bacharach in February 1964. The third UK single release of Springfield 's solo career - following the `` Brill Building '' Sound - alikes `` I Only Want to Be With You '' and `` Stay Awhile '' - `` I Just Do n't Know What to Do with Myself '' was Springfield 's first UK single release to display her signature vocal style ; rising to # 3 in the summer of 1964 the track remained Springfield 's highest charting UK hit until she reached # 1 in 1966 with `` You Do n't Have to Say You Love Me '' which would remain Springfield 's only UK solo hit to chart higher than `` I Just Do n't Know... ''. A concurrent US release of Springfield 's `` I Just Do n't Know What to Do with Myself '' was preempted by the presence of Springfield 's `` Wishin ' and Hopin ' '' in the US Top Ten over the summer of 1964. Springfield 's `` I Just Do n't Know... '' received a belated US release in October 1965 featured on a single with Springfield 's current UK hit `` Some of Your Lovin ' '' ; that month Springfield made a promotional junket to the US which included performances of both of the single 's tracks on the TV shows Hullabaloo and Shindig but neither side reached the Billboard Hot 100.
