Description of The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection:
The greatest expression of Burt Bacharach's composing and arranging talents is the marvelous string of productions he made with Dionne Warwick and lyricist Hal David for a decade or so starting in 1962. Many of their triumphs are included in this three-CD box (also see the single disc The Dionne Warwick Collection), along with dozens of other tracks made between 1957 (Marty Robbins's "Story of My Life") and 1996 (Bacharach's collaboration with Elvis Costello on "God Give Me Strength"). The master's blend of froth, deep emotion, and challenging musicality provides many masterpieces and a few unfortunate moments: he doesn't have much to show for the '80s aside from "That's What Friends Are For" and "Arthur's Theme." Its handful of missteps aside, though, The Look of Love is an essential trove of great pop things. --Rickey Wright
The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection Reviews:
The Ultimate Sixties Collection 
2009-05-04 - I first listened to this recording at my sister's house. I ran to the computer to order it. I grew up with this music--and it is still perfection. Can't stop listening to it!!!!!!!!! I also love the fact of having the original recording artists, a dizzying variety of styles and approaches. Awesome. By the way--get this, the original set, with a superb pamflet explaining the origin of each and every song.
The Look Of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection, 75 Tracks In Chronological Order, '61-'96, Magic!
2009-01-13 - It has been pleasant to go into stores and find the 3 CD Boxset, The Look Of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection on display.
Immensely popular item. Registers with the public.
44 Amazon Customer Reviews.
75 Tracks, all Chart Toppers, presented in chronological order, to the month and year of their initial release, 1961 to 1996.
It's a great opportunity to study the majority of Burt Bacharach's songs are huge crossover hits, going up and down the Pop and R&B Charts, consecutively.
As a Composer, I'd be beside myself.
So much love.
It's been exciting the last ten years to hunt for alternative takes, and enjoy seminal recordings intended for radio play.
Amazon search results has led to different versions of A House Is Not A Home by Mavis Staples, Shirley Bassey, Lulu, Perry Como and Brooke Benton.
Nice!
I'm surprised to find The Blob is only available on one or two albums, I'd expect it to be plastered everywhere.
The Look Of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection.
The makers of this boxset are to be commended for having the clout to compile the material in chronological order.

The best...
2007-06-07 - Without a doubt, this is the best album that I have ever owned...well maybe next to Steely Dan's Aja, which was the first I ever owned. I love the lyrics, the tempo changes and the genius that is Burt Bacharach and Hal David. This album is even more haunting for me since the untimely death of Burt's daughter Nikki. Nikki was one of my favorite songs, even before I ever knew who it was written for, but even more so now. All the Dionne Warwick hits plus Tom Jones, Trini Lopez, Bobby Goldsboro, Dusty Springfield et al, this is a must have for any true Bacharach afficianado.
Wingtips, Telstar, Rotary, 1964 Worlds Fair...
2007-04-04 - Fantastic Voyage, Ursula Andress, AM Radio, Sean Connery, Paisley, Man From Uncle...
In short, Burt Bacharach represents pop culture of the 1960's. At it's apogee. Like a moon shot Bacharach's gorgeous melodies and Hal David's brilliant lyrics spanning the decade from the Blob to Movie of The Week. From Bobby Vinton to the Age of Aquarius. Sock Hop to Woodstock.
Essential: Frankie Valli, Beach Boys, Beatles, Stones, Airplane, Sinatra... Bacharach.
Great music of... and beyond... it's era. Timeless... as long as Anyone Has A Heart and The World Needs Love.
This is MUSIC. Not hip hop. Orchestral, composed, inspired.
Genius.
Burt's Beanery
2007-03-27 - WOW. This series of albums is wonderful PLUS A whole CD of Dionne Warwick doesn't hurt!
I'm amazed at how many of these songs i've forgotten but when I hear a few notes I recall the entire song... sort of like I had amnesia or something! Its amazing that so many of the songs in this list are in the mainstream ... still after as much as 40 years!
This is a definite BUY
