(5 out of 5 stars)

"In addition to Hits in the 60's with The Shirelles and Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach released his first four Solo albums between '65 and '71.



They are, Burt Bacharach Hit Maker!-'65, Burt Bacharach Reach Out-'67, Burt Bacharach Make It Easy On Yourself-69, and the self titled album, Burt Bacharach-'71.



They hold a soft spot in a lot of people's heart.



A&M had the foresight to release a live album of these timeless recordings in '74.



I always looked at the cuts as a work of art, I had no idea they could be reproduced live.
