Burt Bacharach and Hal David's songs for Dionne Warwick together in a new Scepter Records collection

'The Complete Scepter Singles 1962-1973,' scheduled for April 7 on Real Gone Music, collects every A and B side single that Dionne Warwick cut for the Scepter Records label featuring songwriting/production team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. 

Over 74 tracks, the limited edition (3000 copies) 3CD set contains original (mostly mono) single mixes and a bonus single remastered from tape sources. That single, “Only Love Can Break a Heart,” was done for Musicor. 

Real Gone Music had scheduled this title for release prior to Burt Bacharach’s passing. It was unsure when to promote it, but in the end, decided the sooner it let people know about this collection, the better. The music was remastered by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision from original tape sources and annotated by veteran music journalist and Billboard contributor Paul Grein.

In a little more than a decade, Warwick scored 40 charting Pop hits and 29 charting R&B hits for Scepter, propelling her to rank second only to Aretha Franklin among female singers with the most chart hits in the rock era, not to mention five Grammy nods.
