New Bacharach Box Set On The Way!

Post by nymusicalsguy »

If you can pull yourself away from Burt's new book today, do check out our news of an accompanying 6-CD box set at The Second Disc:

The box, from Universal U.K. - with a 2-CD version available in the U.S. and a different 2-CD highlights version available in the U.K. - is due in early June to coincide with the British release of ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART.

Enjoy, all! -

There's some dreadful typos in the book that accompanies the box set - eg. "Beneath The Overpass" !!!

Not up to Burt's meticulous standards.

I detail a number of the errors (both typographical and otherwise) in my review, above, but how about this one: Tommy Sands' "Love in a Goldfish BOWEL"??

Burt and his legacy deserve better, but it's particularly a shame because this box set had the potential to be a definitive assessment of his remarkable career.
