バカラックが67年にA&Mと契約して作った初のオリジナル集。既に素晴しい演奏がなされた名曲ばかりを,編曲も楽器編成も心機一転,新たな味付にしてイージー・リスニングからは最も遠い所に持っていってしまったのはバカラックの才能と意地と洒落心か。

Burt Bacharach's vintage solo albums, while sharing many of the signature songs he and Hal David crafted for the likes of Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield, are different experiences than those hit singles. Despite nearly duplicate arrangements, the composer's own renditions of "Reach Out for Me," "Are You There (With Another Girl)," and "The Look of Love" are less dramatic, more laid-back; Bacharach also indulges himself in codas that sound like he's working out bits of movie music. All that said, the 1967
Reach Out is a quite fine example of Bacharach left to his own devices: after three plays, you may well find it irresistible. Also, don't miss the fab period liner notes by the Beatles's then-publicist Derek Taylor.
