The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Will's still a solid seller in the UK--they just never even attempted to market him in the US, I don't think he's even signed there. What a freakin WEIRD collection. tons on the previous Rhino box set, some very random (but welcome) choices, NO sense of any order to the tracklisting. I have to say, ...

That makes sense--and isn't too surprising, sadly. I've heard of movie studios almost throwing out rare pieces of footage, etc

Well I tend to be a stickler for audio quality--I know some source tracks were hard to find i think--the cut songs? Anyway I assume it is a prob with the release in general and somethign they tried their best to get around

Hey, Sorry for a rather lame question. I've recently been replayign the Razor and Tie CD release of Lost Horizon a lot and had a technical question. The sound in some of it sounds much more degraded than I'd expect for an early 70s recording. Specifically listen to Share the Joy (particularly the or...

what year were both of these? i love the song! maybe it was composed for Promises Promises?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_x5h1lpXh0 It's back :D I'm friends with the guy who posted it and apparantly the clip was removed because of an Ed Sullivan Broadway clip he also had--technically youtube doens't mind Tony clips--so far SUCH a great showstopper--silly, so 60s and a lot of fun--and Do...

WOw when were they recorded?

UGH~! Well someone on a Broadway forum informed me that the original cast performing Turkey Lurkey Time on the Tonys was uploaded to youtube! So I went http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=turkey+lurkey+time only to find it listed but the link ALWREADY REMOVED--after only 2 days due to copyri...

Wow, odd indeed. I can only assume they printed all 5000 copies initially then and just have htem layign around int heir warehouse in no real order? hrmmm I did find one mistake on one of them in the linear notes (Promises Promises) but I believe it was a mistake on the original printing. Where Is L...

I just got, inspired by this thread, all 4 Rhino Handmade releases direct from Rhino--peopel were wonderign how well they sold--the numbers on my copy are:

Promises Promises 3219/5000
Very dionne 1796/5000
soulful 2308/5000
Windows 2016/5000

I tried to get those Lost in Bostons thru a retailer here in Canada (I can't order online at the moment) as I'm a fan of some of the other shows they have cut songs from (ie Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, Coleman's Sweet Charity) but was told they're outa print :( I know the booklets for Boston g...

I've never read Simon's libretto--does Jill's character sing Promises Promises in the show or was it just recorded? Does Let's Pretend creep anyone else out a bit?

And Seconds was recorded then for both Futures and by Gladys?

Oh Jesus thanks--I'm such a huge fan of the show, this is absolutely great to have

So Seconds was used in Futures? I admit the only late 70s album I'm really familiar with is Together? (which I LOVE)

I realized afterwards it was 1972 but thanks--glad at least it's not just my copy. So was the thud in the original pressing too?

Do we have a list of songs that were cut from Promises Promises during previews before it opened? I know the now out of print series of recordings of cut Broadway songs Lost in Boston recorded two of them but I've never been able to hear them :( Any others? One of the infamous 3 songs Burt did with ...
