(by Alec Cumming, 12/24/95)
The following chronological discography of Bacharach recordings was compiled in part by Alec Cumming, co-producer of the Rhino box-set The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection.
When the title is in CAPS, that means it's an ALBUM or MOVIE. When it says (BB 4/2/62), for example, that refers to the date the song first appeared on the Billboard charts, not the release date.
For more comprehensive, up-to-date discographies, please see Davide Bonori's chronological discography and his categorical and alphabetical discography.
