The complete Scepter singles 1962-1973

"It's without doubt a necessary and long-overdue wider release - if limited to 3,000 CD copies - as it offers an exploration of Warwick's early solo work more satisfying than a straightforward hits anthology. Further, all of the material originally issued in mono mixes are presented as such. Almost all of the A-sides here entered the Hot 100. While none topped the chart, many of them are everlasting pop classics - "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Walk On By," "I Say a Little Prayer," and "This Girl's in Love with You" account for some of the Top Ten hits among a total of 20 that went Top 40. Like no other team before or after them, Warwick and primary collaborators Burt Bacharach and Hal David combined masterful pop songcraft with impeccably expressive and understated vocal performances".

"This compilation is an ideal introduction to a defining voice of the '60s: a sweeping survey of pop songs as prayers for compassion, consolation, and commitment".
