BURT BACHARACH DISCOGRAPHY
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.
Davide Bonori has compiled two Bacharach discographies from his home in Italy, a categorical and alphabetical discography and a chronological discography, both of which includes a treasure trove of information about Bacharach on CD, including many of the European imports (imports to America at least).
