The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Collectors should be informed that the MCA "Plays His Hits" re-issue CD in Japan and the UK from the mid-1990s contains a "bonus track" erroneously credited to Burt called "Sail On Silv'ry Moon." The track is actually a Billy Vaughn Dot master that was accidentally listed as a Bacharach master in the MCA computerized database. Unfortunately, the UK and Japan did not know it was a mistake and used the track as a bonus. Burt neither wrote the song or has anything to do with the Billy Vaughn recording. That is why the US reissue on CD did not include that wrong track.
