A question

Post by Fussi »

I recently bought the What The World Needs Now - Burt Bacharach Classics CD, and was worried about the fact that the piano intro on This Guy's In Love With You is missing. Is it a shorter single version? I'm curious.

Fussi,
nOt sure, but it's something a company would do...considering it non-essential,
they could possibly cut that "cheeze" off the beginning...but as an old friend of mine
"B"film composer Al Glasser used to say..."Thats cheating!"

A good guess.... another possibility is that some self righteous critics out there didn't like this strange intro,thot it was b.s., and decided to "cut it"....pesonally, I believe every note should have been left in...
