A so-so compilation of Bacharach leading session musicians through his A&M hits. It's classic lounge music to be sure, but if you're looking for the versions you know with Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield, go for this disc: The Very Best Of Burt Bacharach (2001). But mix well with some Sergio Mendes or TJB and these cuts will work just fine.
I'm guessing these tracks were taken from Bacharach's albums such as 1967's Reach Out and/or his 1971 self-titled LP (which shares a cover photo with this CD release). No credits, recording dates, publishing info were included with this CD otherwise I'd give you more information.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart
Tracks: 12 tracks: 37 minutes. They're all smooth (mostly) instrumentals, easy listening bordering on Muzak. My picks are This Guy's In Love, Do You Know The Way To San Jose?, and I Say A Little Prayer. The only track to skip is the odd arrangement of Alfie, a tune that isn't that great to begin with to be honest.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None
