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!

So glad to see this available, but get it remastered at iTunes. Maybe WB will get the hint and rerelease the CD!

I was so surprised that this soundtrack had never been released on DVD, but I'm glad it finally was. The title theme is very good. Wish they hadn't used the vocal tracks for some of the songs, but it's interesting to know the words to some of the tunes. I think it's worth it, but not as good as I was expecting all in all
