Rare Bacharach 1: 1956-1978
An ambitious and expansive set of recordings from a vast variety of sources with one common thread: the material they sang was written by one of the greatest popular songwriters of all time.  Many come from motion pictures and finally see the light of disc for the first time.  The array of talent here is incredible, with Bobby Vee, Johnny Mathis, Perry Como, Connie Francis, the late Adam Faith, Sir Cliff Richard, the late Tammi Terrell, Gene Pitney, Etta James, The Buckinghams, The Walker Brothers, Herman's Hermits, Jackie DeShannon, B.J. Thomas (and it's not "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"!), Andy Williams, Mavis Staples, the late Sylvester and still more!  It comes with a 16 page booklet and dozens of photographs and revealing liner notes.
