Whats New Pussycat?

Product Review

Burt Bacharach put aside the drama of his work with Dionne Warwick for a romp through the sex farce that made Woody Allen a hit screenwriter. The giddy playfulness and tongue-in-cheek sensuality of the music is put aside only once, for Warwick's "Here I Am." Other songs, of course, include Tom Jones's title tune and Manfred Mann's read of "My Little Red Book," which inspired Love's hit version the next year. One caveat: even with two versions of "Book," the total audio playing time is just under half an hour. Still, this is a rich period piece. --Rickey Wright

This review is from: What's New Pussycat? (1965 Film) (Audio CD)

This is one of the MGM series of movie soundtracks that Rykodisc has recently released on CD.It features 13 songs written by Burt Bacharach with lyrics by Hal David.This film score fits the movie perfectly.There are 3 songs with vocals and 10 instrumentals.The highlight of the CD is the great vocal performance by Tom Jones on the title track.Other highlights are Manfred Mann's version of "My Little Red Book",which is vastly superior to Love's version that came a year later.The best instrumental is "Downhill And Shady",featuring some great electric guitar in the "British Invasion" style.This enhanced CD also has a funny 3 minute film clip from the beginning of the movie,where Peter O'Toole has his first therapy session with the deranged shrink played by Peter Sellers.I recommend this CD for anyone who liked the movie or the early days of the glorious British Invasion.
