LIMITED EDITION, BOOKLET

Limited three CD set. Very, very few artists have reached the heights attained by Dionne Warwick and the songwriting/production team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David on their historic string of hit singles for the Scepter label. Over the course of a little over ten years, Dionne scored no less than 40 charting Pop hits and 29 charting R&B hits for Scepter, propelling Dionne to a ranking second only to Aretha Franklin among female singers with the most chart hits in the rock era, not to mention five Grammy nods. More importantly, Warwick, Bacharach, and David brought a new level of sophistication to popular music... and by doing so, created some of the most indelible recordings of all time. However, despite it's brilliance and lasting influence, there has never been a collection at music retail that truly captured this incredible body of work... until now. The Complete Scepter Singles 1962-1973 offers the A and B-side of every single Dionne cut for the Scepter label (with the bonus inclusion of her single for Musicor featuring the hit "Only Love Can Break a Heart"), all original, (mostly) mono single versions remastered by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision from original tape sources and annotated by veteran music journalist and Billboard contributor Paul Grein. Among the 74 (!) tracks on this 3-CD set are some of the most hallowed sides in '60s pop, including "Don't Make Me Over," "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Walk On By," "Message to Michael," "(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Alfie," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," "Trains and Boats and Planes," "This Girl's in Love with You," and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." But really, pretty much every track in this collection is a masterpiece... and remember, the single mixes you're hearing on this collection is exactly what folks thrilled to when they turned on their radio back in the day. A cornerstone of any pop music collection.
