Amazon.com essential recording

The greatest expression of Burt Bacharach's composing and arranging talents is the marvelous string of productions he made with Dionne Warwick and lyricist Hal David for a decade or so starting in 1962. Many of their triumphs are included in this three-CD box (also see the single disc The Dionne Warwick Collection), along with dozens of other tracks made between 1957 (Marty Robbins's "Story of My Life") and 1996 (Bacharach's collaboration with Elvis Costello on "God Give Me Strength"). The master's blend of froth, deep emotion, and challenging musicality provides many masterpieces and a few unfortunate moments: he doesn't have much to show for the '80s aside from "That's What Friends Are For" and "Arthur's Theme." Its handful of missteps aside, though, The Look of Love is an essential trove of great pop things. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

The best..........2007-06-07

Without a doubt, this is the best album that I have ever owned...well maybe next to Steely Dan's Aja, which was the first I ever owned. I love the lyrics, the tempo changes and the genius that is Burt Bacharach and Hal David. This album is even more haunting for me since the untimely death of Burt's daughter Nikki. Nikki was one of my favorite songs, even before I ever knew who it was written for, but even more so now. All the Dionne Warwick hits plus Tom Jones, Trini Lopez, Bobby Goldsboro, Dusty Springfield et al, this is a must have for any true Bacharach afficianado.

Wingtips, Telstar, Rotary, 1964 Worlds Fair..........2007-04-05

Fantastic Voyage, Ursula Andress, AM Radio, Sean Connery, Paisley, Man From Uncle...

In short, Burt Bacharach represents pop culture of the 1960's. At it's apogee. Like a moon shot Bacharach's gorgeous melodies and Hal David's brilliant lyrics spanning the decade from the Blob to Movie of The Week. From Bobby Vinton to the Age of Aquarius. Sock Hop to Woodstock.

Essential: Frankie Valli, Beach Boys, Beatles, Stones, Airplane, Sinatra... Bacharach.

Great music of... and beyond... it's era. Timeless... as long as Anyone Has A Heart and The World Needs Love.

This is MUSIC. Not hip hop. Orchestral, composed, inspired.

Genius.

Burt's Beanery.......2007-03-27

WOW. This series of albums is wonderful PLUS A whole CD of Dionne Warwick doesn't hurt!

I'm amazed at how many of these songs i've forgotten but when I hear a few notes I recall the entire song... sort of like I had amnesia or something! Its amazing that so many of the songs in this list are in the mainstream ... still after as much as 40 years!

This is a definite BUY

DIG THAT BACH-AH-RACH.......2007-01-25

my late uncle hipped me to ole burt. i love what he did with a track.........those percussive horns, man!!!!! i dig this. although i do not like all the joints on here, it's a good thing to have. what stands out for me on here are the lou johnson joints. i especially love REACH OUT FOR ME. more standouts for me are IT'S LOVE THAT REALLY COUNTS (IN THE LONG RUN) by the shirrelles and PLEASE STAY by the drifters. now i like some of the dionne warwick songs on here, but in the liner notes, i think her reasons for doing some of those songs were ridiculous. i thought it was her on WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE. i had no idea that it was a white lady. amazing vocal arrangement. another that just came to mind is DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART. actually, that is like my fave on here. i wished that they would've put dionne warwick's version of YOU'LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN IF YOU BREAK MY HEART ON HERE though. the stylistics did their thing, but i prefer the original. all in all, it is wonderful, but then again, it is another reason i am a skeptic whenm it comes to box sets.

Superb historical box set.......2006-09-21

This is not a "greatest hits" set, though many of Bacharach's greatest hits are contained here. Rather, it's a fascinating historical view of the progression of the songwriter(s) through four decades. It is truly instructive to listen to some of the less well-known pieces. The book that is included in the box set is an essential component: The writers really knew what they were talking about, and I've spent hours reading along with the (very detailed) descriptions of each song's history.

Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Great for Burt Bacharach collector,not so great for Dionne's fans.......2005-07-04

This two disc UK version is definitely inferior to the original Rhino's 3 discs box set,with a poor packaging of slipcase.Even the original liner by Alec Cummings seems to be poorly printed.

Unlike 1998 Rhino version,the sequences of the album is not chronological,by putting Carpenters'(One of my favorite band,though) 1970 "Close to You" first.When I listen to the album in normal order,I can't see the flow of Burt's style over time.Of course,designed for British market,many of selected version of songs are performed by British musicians(Dusty Springfield,Cilla Black,Petula Clerk,Sandie Shaw and so on).And this greatly decrease the percentage of Dionne Warwick,which I frown upon(I'm a huge fan of her!).

If you already own some Burt Bacharach's songs,this album can be a great complementery for song versions,though.

Customer Reviews:

The Burt you need.......2006-01-11

Five stars are for Burt as a composer and director and for his melodies which are something extremely beautiful. Extremely beautiful. This collection comprehend all the music Burt is rightly famous for plus some more. Burt is really one of the greatest composers from the most recent decades. Raindrops, Wifes and Lovers, What the world needs now, I'll never fall in love again and all the greatest songs he wrote are rightly super famous. I think these songs as immortal popular songs. I love Bacharach and David's music. I think they wrote like the greatest standards authors, Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Johnny Mandel, Mancini etc. Infact their songs became in the sixties even progressions which jazz players played occasionally with very nice results by the way! I suggest if you love Bacharach' music to check Stan Gets Bacharach songbook for example, extremely pleasing. Even in the lyrics field David (and I think Burt contributed too for sure) wrote tender but clever songs. I love these songs, for real. But this collection contains still some not essential tunes. It's strange in my opinion to consider how diverse were those songs, the essential ones and the unessential ones. The quality grade is so different. I think radically different. I think that Burt should be aware of that, but you know how inspiration is... something it's there and sometimes simply, not. If you own this collection I think you possess all the music from Burt you may ever desire. His genius its all here.

Album Details

Great Double Compilation featuring the Biggest Hits Composed by Bacharach and Performed by the Carpenters, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones and Many Others.

Customer Reviews:

Even the greatest composers can write ordinary stuff ..........2002-04-19

Of all the composers of popular music in my lifetime, I believe Burt Bacharach is the greatest, closely followed by the Sherman brothers. (The greatest guitarists in my lifetime have been Hendrix for rock and Metheny for jazz, but I'll try to keep to the subject!)

This 50-track double CD appears to be a whittled-down version of the box set of the same title available in the US. I cannot fault the tune selection, but I am slightly disappointed by the version selection. The aim of the compiler was clearly to show the variety of artists that have recorded Bacharach songs. (In the 1960s it seemed that as soon as Bacharach had penned another song, artists on both sides of the Atlantic raced to be first to record it.) This means that we don't hear enough Dionne Warwick, who has been the prime interpreter of Bacharach and David songs. (In every case with the exception of 'Say a Little Prayer', she has recorded the definitive version.) We also don't hear enough of the soundtrack to BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, which, along with 'Say a Little Prayer' and 'The Look of Love', are Bacharach's finest moments.

But in between these supreme highlights are a number of quite ordinary songs, even on this 2CD condensed version. Never mind -- they still convey the wonderful optimism of the 1960s to me.

Bacharach has penned at least five (possibly ten) songs that I'm convinced people will still be listening to in 100 years' time. They're all on this album, though perhaps not in the versions that will be remembered.
