THE MUSIC HOLDS UP... The music is rich and fabulous. I bought this soundtrack in LP/analog format when the movie premiered, and listening to it now on CD, I'm reminded why Burt Bacharach has been such a successful composer. Nice Soundtrack Much better than the average soundtrack from the period, many of the tracks are original from the movie (including 'Raindrops', 'South American Adventure' and 'New York'), some fillers are included but otherwise quite faithful to the original movie. Great Memories As soon as I was returned to the States (or as we used to call it "The World") I bought the album and played it until the grooves wore out. I first saw the movie at a med-evac hospital overseas while caring for Vietnam-wounded Marines, and I fell in love with the soundtrack then and there. Then came the 8 track, the cassette, and now the CD. Time marches on. Burt Bacharach is pure genius, and this soundtrack is one of his more stellar efforts. My personal favorites are "Not Goin' Home Anymore", a great tune, and "South American Getaway", an alternating happy-go-lucky and melancholy tune. Of course, three versions of "Raindrops" is a good thing to have anytime. All in all, a great trip down memory lane and a great example of the genius that is Bacharach. My Favorite Album / CD I had the album. This is without a second thought my favorite CD. (still around here somewhere) This is excellent music bumper to bumper. Not a bad note in the entire track. A Classic Film Score P. This sountrack is just as fresh today in 2003 as when it was released on L. so many years ago. Some of Burt Bacharach's Best Work. You'll notice "South American Getaway" has been recently been used on SBC commercials. You can see a complete list of all Burt Bacharach discography, or go back to the Burt Bacharach tabs
