For some reason, this Burt Bacharach album has been difficult to find on CD, but if you're a Bacharach fan, it's a must-have.

This is a Friday Music CD, direct from California, Made in USA, cd pressed in New York by Ryko licensed by Warner on the Rhino sub label. As many times as I heard this song on the radio in the 80's and 90's, I can't believe it took this long to get it out on a normal cd. This cd was better than I expected. The audio on this disc is natural and has not been mashed or multi-band compressed. This one was probably a recording from one of those sticky-shed tapes from the early 80's, so I give them alot of credit for making this CD. Many engineers are afraid to "work the magic" on those tapes which is either a win or complete loss.

I have not yet listened to the first cd issue which was foreign only, so I can't give a comparison, and I am currently suffering from a worn out Denon, so I won't be able to compare the vinyl. I do remember the 45 sounding really good, and a cart tape at a radio station that was impressive but noisy. Fool Me Again is another song I like off of this album, and I also like the tune from Ambrosia.

This CD is a must have for DJs, Radio Stations, and Collectors. Or maybe if you are just looking for "The Best That You Can Do". I'm not a fan of mp3 files, and so the CD is worth the price.

If you get caught between the Moon and New York City, you'd probably be a Russian cosmonaut stuck in a space station for about two months. I know it's crazy. But it's true!
