Editorial Reviews

Album Description
Collectors' pieces and original versions from the deep catalogue of one of the 20th century's greatest pop tunesmiths.

Burt Bacharach turned 80 on May 12, 2008. This CD could be regarded as a birthday tribute. It fits nicely with similar projects in the Ace catalogue, our songwriter and producer series. All tracks are completely new to Ace CD, and most are new to CD release, period. It features a £400.00 Northern rarity (Dean Barlow) and contains Burt's first recorded composition (Nat 'King' Cole, 1952). The vocalists on the Burt & the Backbeats track are sisters Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick - from before they launched their solo careers.

While most of the songs feature lyrics by Hal David, the CD contains rare examples of songs written by Burt with other co-writers. Bacharach never goes out of fashion, however obscure or lesser known the repertoire might be.
