The Valentines Day Burt Bacharach Mixtape

UPDATE: Mxtape added with extra tracks and fully remastered – had so much fun doing this special edition of the El Ritmo radio show for RTRFM that I thought I would preserve it for listeners for Valentines Day next year – or better still any day of the year!! – all the chit chat and ads have been removed – so its just the pure joy of the music with a nice HD mix

I loved doing the research for the show and finding so many versions of Bacharach on musical roads road less travelled, but I have to say stumbling across the unreleased version by The Beach Boys of Walk on By was a special find.

Celebrate Valentines Day with a ‘Tuesday Night Hi Fi Journey’

RTRFM’s El Ritmo radio show will be completely free of the mush and goes straight for the beautiful, funky and far out tunes by far out artists into the catalogue of the late great Burt Bacharach plus some other perfectly placed very groovy L.O.V.E tunes.

From 1958 and Burt’s first band The Five Blobs through to Cal Tjader and Frankie Goes To Hollywood – its all Moog workouts, lush soul, remixes and Japanese pop…
