Calling all Bacharach Song Experts

Post by steveo_1965 »

Hi,
I'm wondering about an obscure 45 RPM record made by the Burt Bacharach Oechestra in the early 60's on Big Top records - entitled Brigette Bardot.
Anyone ever heard this ditty? I'm guessing it's an instrumental.

Well, this is the first time I've ever replied to myself...lol
it's really an addendum..
I ask.."and how much would this 45 be worth, if someone found it?"

The song wasn't a Bacharach composition. M. Gustavo wrote the song. "Brigitte Bardot" was produced, arranged and conducted by Burt Bacharach, with vocal by Joel Grey.

I got my copy of the single at EBay. I spent more or less $ 10.

Davide,
Greetings! Thank you for the info. I know Burt has (in earlier days) arranged music for artists he was working with that he did not write.
(ex. JAne Morgan-Ask Me To Dance - Marlene Dietrich-Where Have All The FLowers Gone,etc.) What I didn't know was that he recorded a 45 single written by someone else.
I'm happy you were able to get a copy off of Ebay for 10.00, but I wonder how many other copies exist?
I'll bet it's really rare.
