wow.
haven't been around in a while and i'm just reading about this now.
first of all, i'm glad there is the rarities cd but considering the albums were so skimpy in the first place, dontcha think they could have added some rare or at least alternate takes to the cds?
or better yet combined them 2 on a cd like the beach boys or percy faith reissues
anyway i'm most excited about the bacharach songs. "promises promises" and "never fall in love again" are really 2 of the best songs he's ever written. i only wish herb would have also tackled "wanting things" and "knowing when to leave," from the same fantastic score
burt & A & M go together like hands in gloves
but when i was buying lps in 66-67 i was buying herb alpert, brasil 66, the fifth dimension, the mamas & the papas and spanky and our gang. these groups and their records eptomized the best of 60's pop for me.
gee herb should have tried a stab at "like to get to know you" as well
