Casino Royale from Canada – Not Fit for Us Audiophiles

Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Burt Bacharach Available Now

I can honestly say that until we discovered the Hot Stampers for this album, I never thought this record deserved the praise The Absolute Sound’s Harry Pearson heaped upon it.

One of only thirteen entries in the Best of the Bunch: Popular section?

Not that hard to believe if, like me, you think a number of the titles there don’t really deserve to be called Super Discs in the first place. (See here and here and plenty more where those two came from.)

In case you are tempted to pick up a Canadian pressing of the album, don’t. Judging by the one we had, they are godawful.
