More complete than the first Burt Bacharach's Greatest Hits, issued years earlier on vinyl & as less of a cash-in on Burt's talents, rather than more of a catch-all, if still on a basis of just being more up-to-date & a brief overview of his fame on A&M; an added benefit...

The originals, as well as the works of those he'd worked with, are of course, more worth seeking out!

I would liked to have seen one more track each from Futures, Woman and Living Together. Aside from the latter album, the other two are interesting in that they are comprised of many newer compositions, not rehashes of his hit songs made popular by others.

Another interesting compilation is to take all of his instrumental (non-vocal) album tracks from all of these albums. Makes for a nice listen.
 
This collection Totally Eclipses the 1973 Greatest Hits album by leaps and bounds I still have my copy from the early 90s and it's still a joy to listen to. More than ever
