The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

I can`t seem to find a copy (or download) of the full-length concert album from a couple years back. Does anyone know where I might still snag one?
Thanks!

Was there a 2 CD deluxe version of the "Live at the Sydney Opera House" album? Must have missed that one, only got the single CD version...

This import version should be the one you're looking for:



It's 2 discs, 23 tracks on one disc and 17 on another, for a total of 40 tracks. Of course, Amazon has this incorrect in both the description (38) and the track listing (32) but this edition as pictured is the 2-CD version. I ordered my copy from the Music Shop in Australia when it was first released; that seller is still selling it on Amazon (for $29.99 as of this writing). Amazon itself appears to have this edition for $17.09.

Hope this helps!

Joe

Mr. Blair,

It's always good to have the CDs, but if patience is "small" this album can be purchased and downloaded on the website http://www.7digital.com. See the link below:

You need the 2CD edition that contains a "new-ish" Bacharach instrumental
called... "For The Children"......great concert !

"blue"

Thanks for all of the suggesions but I can only find the single disc edition. I guess the "special edition" is sold out and out of print.

Not sure whether you want to order from Australia, Blair, but if you do, you should be able to order the 2-CD "complete," 40-track edition from The Music Shop (an Australian merchant) at the Amazon link provided above.

Best,

Joe

I've only got the single-CD version - can anyone tell me what extra tracks are on the 2-CD version?

Thanks

Hi,

The double-disc edition has the following three tracks, not available on the single-disc:

1. For the Children - an instrumental by Burt. Runs for appr 11 mins.

2. Fallin' Out of Love - written by Burt, Jerry Leiber and Jed Leiber. Vocals by Donna Taylor.

3. Who'll Speak for Love - written by Burt and Tim Rice. Vocals by Josie James.

For a very limited time, these tracks were available as a bonus disc with the single-disc release. In the double-disc edition they appear in the order they were played at the concert.

Regards,
Martyn

Thanks again to all; I went with the Australian dealer.
Amazon seems utterly clueless that there are (were?) two different editions of this thing, causing unnecessary confusion for all.
Thanks, Joe.

I just received an e-mail from the Music Shop in Australia notifying me that their stock has been depleted and that they cannot buy any more. This is similar to a message I got from CD Universe when I tried a while back to order this through them.
In short, it looks as though the full-length recording is out of print.
By the way, Djalma, the site you provided is restricted to UK residents. I`m in the northeast US. Thanks anyway.
