Burt Bacharach Cover LP's?...Any suggestions appreciated!
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 2:05 pm
Hello Burt Fans
My name is Ian (from England) and I'm a huge lover of easy and exotica music; devoting far too many pleasurable hours to trawling charity / thrift shops, car boot sales and even rubbish tips for easy and exotic music on vinyl. (Hauled some great stuff from rubbish skips over the years too!)
I'm presently writing a labour of love article for a web-site on Burt Bacharach Cover LP's...that is to say...LP's full of Burt Bacharach compositions sung or played by other artists.
The British market is full of such LP's, some fantastic; some awful(!) most of which came out in the late sixties or early seventies.
I'd like to pick the brains of any regular browsers / participants here to ask if anyone knows of any good / bad or indifferent ones?
I already have the ones listed below and will be writing reviews over the next few months...hopefully to finish the article in time for Burt's birthday.
Be great to hear about...then pursue....any more...particularly perhaps Bacharach songs sung in other languages or utterly different styles. (Any Tijuana / Progressive Pysch / Hip-Hop Bacharach out there??)
The web site I'm writing for is strictly non-profit / non-selling / non-advertising etc & contributions for consideration are voluntary .... it's for genuine lovers of esoteric music...and there's a lot of Burt fans that visit!
Happy to hear of any good one -trackers too eg....I love the Enoch Light version of Bond Street ; The Mike Sammes Singers version of To Wait For Love and Lenny Dee's fantastically simple 'Odds & Ends'.
Any help very much appreciated.
Many thanks
