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 its 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 Dont 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 Girls in Love with You, and Ill Never Fall in Love Again. But really, pretty much every track in this collection is a masterpiece
and remember, the single mixes youre 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
and a timely tribute coinciding with the release of the new Dionne documentary Dont Make Me Over. We are limiting this release to 3000 copies
