Fantastic! We love Burt Bacharach in so many ways that it's easy to forget the genius of these early A&M sides – but going back to them is always a treat, and it's wonderful to hear the way that Burt lays down his own work when given the chance! You know the tracks – "House ... (Now Sound, Vocalists)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Includes the amazing "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft"! (Rock, Vocalists)LP, Vinyl record album
Early genius from The Carpenters – a really tremendous little album, and one that's quite different than their soft rock hits of the 70s!

An incredible album from Peggy Lee – baroquely beautiful, in a way that builds massively off of her "Is That All There Is Period" – and take her into territory that's almost equal to Lotte Lenya!

The colors are rich, but gentle too – like a palette of pastels, all sung by the lovely Claudine Longet! The album's got a slightly more mature feel than some of Longet's first for A&M – great Nick DeCaro arrangements that show some of the deeper elements creeping into pop at the ... read moreCD

The second album by Sergio and crew – and a real push forward for the group!
