EASY LOUNGIN' COLLECTION
Twenty Easy Listening Classics
Burt Bacharach
A&M/Polydor (540 453-2)
I just got this one in yesterday's mail. Amazon took a little bit longer to find it, but it's now here. Packaged just like the Sergio Mendes version in this set (see the thread in the Mendes forum), this one also features some unique titles to compilations, and often they turn out to be favorites, making this maybe a better compilation than most. This one too is available through that German Music Express (these ARE German compilations after all), but it can also be gotten through more typical channels. Use the CDNow link on the main page and search for Bacharach to get CDNow's price and help support A&MCorner.
Track listing:
Bond Street
Do You Know The Way To San Jose
Walk The Way You Talk
Nikki
The Look Of Love
I'll Never Fall In Love Again
Something Big
The Sundance Kid
South American Getaway
Promises, Promises
Long Ago Tomorrow
The Windows Of The World
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
Monterey Peninsula
I Say A Little Prayer
Knowing When To Leave
Pacific Coast Highway
This Guy's In Love With You
Are You There With Another Girl
And The People Were With Her
For me, that's about as good a tracklist of Burt's recordings as I could ever hope to get or even compile myself. The ones that put it over the top are "Nikki", "Something Big", and "South American Getaway", plus faves like "Knowing When To Leave", "I Say A Little Prayer" and "Bond Street".
Again the sound quality is top notch (see amendment below), and it's always nice to put a new disc in the player with a nice large A&M logo.
