The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

The soundtrack album of BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID was mastered by using the dreaded HAECO-CSG system that altered the phase of one channel so that the record company wouldn't have to also master and press a mono version for the public. It made the songs on the album sound more "corre...

Happy Birthday, Burt. Thanks for all of the wonderful songs over the years, and here's to many more!

Sorry I missed this thread. The link above no longer works, and I'd like to have heard Burt's take on "If I Could Go Back". I've got his demo of "Lost Horizon" on an advanced promo soundtrack LP that was given out, but was unaware of a demo recording for any of the other songs. I...

"The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" did indeed appear on Herb Alpert's CHRISTMAS ALBUM, and Herb's version is now available again, remastered, from Shout! Factory. Burt's version, in addition to appearing on an A&M single, also appeared on a Christmas album that the label put out in conjun...

Hello Steveo!

Reposted from my post at the A&M Corner Forum: Back in 1999, longtime fans of Burt Bacharach's musical PROMISES, PROMISES welcomed a new CD release (first time ever on CD!) from Rykodisc. Copies of the old LP had been selling for hefty prices on eBay. Today, with THAT disc out of print, prices f...

Herb Alpert is releasing all of his old Tijuana Brass recordings through a deal with Shout! Factory Records. Included will be a new disc of rarities and unreleased tracks that will include several Burt Bacharach-composed songs. Visit the announcement page at Shout! Factory here: http://www.shoutfact...

Sorry I didn't see your question earlier, and yes, I probably should have addressed it here for those unfamiliar with it. As I stated in my review, it was a reposting of the review that I did in A&M Corner's site. A lot of the folks there are quite familiar with the HAECO-CSG system, so my casua...

I posted my review on the A&M Corner site, which I'll repeat here: So, there in the mail on November 4th, one day before the official release date, was my copy of the new box set, BURT BACHARACH: SOMETHING BIG, THE COMPLETE A&M YEARS...AND MORE! Packaging: Housed in a lovely, though somewhat...

Scott B. passed this along to me at the A&M Corner and I didn't see anything here about it so here goes. The following info comes from Mike Ragogna at Universal: We're aiming at an August release on Hip-O Select. You can let leak that "The Source" (you can use my name) said it will hav...

If this phpBB forum works the way the A&M Corner Forum does, you should be able to select "Edit" on the lead post. From there, I would think there would be an option to Add or Delete items from the poll.

It's great to see this wonderful improvement over here Mark. I'll spread the word over at A&M Corner about the new Forum location.

Great move!
