Editorial Reviews
2008 release featuring collectors' pieces and original versions from the deep catalogue of one of the 20th century's greatest pop tunesmiths. It features a £400.00 Northern rarity (Dean Barlow) and contains Burt's first recorded composition (Nat "King" Cole, 1952). The vocalists on the Burt & the Backbeats track are sisters Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick - from before they launched their solo careers. While most of the songs feature lyrics by Hal David, the CD contains rare examples of songs written by Burt with other co-writers. 26 tracks. Ace.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Unlike most Ace compilations, which are among the very best in their field, this one contains several tracks available elsewhere, specifically, on the 3-disc Rhino Bacharach set (a must-have); the remaining tracks are among Bacharach's weaker efforts so this one is more for completists than the average 60s pop fan.
Bunch of stuff I never heard of with only a few good ones. They must be dragging them off the bottom, this is going to CD warehouse for resale very quickly.

Ace does it again! While Bacharach anthologies are plentiful, here's one that doesn't have "Close To You", "Raindrops" or "I Say A Little Prayer". Instead, it offers us "Move It On The Backbeat", "Gotta Get A Girl" and "Wild Honey" (no, not the Beach Boys' tune!). Confused? Don't be. ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE takes a look at the lesser-known side of Bacharach, primarily drawn from impossibly hard-to-find singles written by the Maestro in the earliest part of his career. While a few songs have appeared recently thanks to Rhino's excellent 3-disc THE LOOK OF LOVE ("So Long, Johnny", "Made In Paris", the title track), the rest are true rarities presented for the first time ever on CD, all in pristine sound. Listening to this disc while reading the copious 18-page booklet (lavishly illustrated in full color) is akin to taking a crash course in Burt. These songs might not all feature the sound associated with Bacharach, but the seeds of his genius - with and without lyrical partner Hal David - are very much in evidence here. "Rain In The Skies" features arguably Burt's first use of his famous flugelhorn intro, while "Move It On The Backbeat" has Burt making great use two unknown background singers who just HAPPEN to be Dionne & Dee Dee Warwick. For any fan or collector of Bacharach who already has the chart-toppers, this collection is a must-have. Bring on Volume Two!
