Last year Salvo Records reissued a few of Sandie Shaw's albums on vinyl and CD, because her Honorary Doctorate from the South East College Of Higher And Further Education for her contribution to music and entertainment on October 22nd, 2013.
The photograph that she posted on her Facebook page doesn't show her feet, but let's assume that she's wearing shoes.
As you know, Shaw is known as "the barefoot pop princess". The origin behind the barefoot performance was because she could only get a certain pair of shoes a size too small for her feet, so she took them off when she sang on Top of the Pops. Suddenly, it became her trademark and then she was just expected to perform barefoot.
Anyway, details of her doctorate is from salvo-music.co.uk:
Well, if you don't have those Smiths cover songs, then Long Live Love: Best of might be worth getting, but clearly the release was designed for fans who just wants to hear her best-known songs, including "Message Understood" and "Puppet On A String".

Sandie is thrilled with the award commenting, `I am so homoured [sic] to receive an Honorary Doctorate from my home county of Essex. I love our aspirational spirit and energy and our mix of posh and ordinary, urban and rural.’
Among the reissued releases is a greatest hit compilation called Long Live Love: Best of. All the tracks are said to be listed as remastered and mostly contained singles from the 1960s - with the exception of her recordings with The Smiths from the 80s ("Jeane" and "Hand in Glove"). We've seen these songs reissued with WEA's There is a Light that Never Goes Out CD 2 single, featuring those songs and Sandie Shaw's cover version of "I Don't Owe You Anything".
Well, if you don't have those Smiths cover songs, then Long Live Love: Best of might be worth getting, but clearly the release was designed for fans who just wants to hear her best-known songs, including "Message Understood" and "Puppet On A String".
