I have it from a reliable source that Bill Inglot
digitally remixed "Raindrops..." in stereo to match the
mono 45 specifically for the later pressing of the
Rhino "Greatest Hits". The story relayed to me is that
Bill and Ken Perry happened to be doing mastering at
A&M when the staff tape librarian pulled the original 8
track multitrack for them to work from. Therefore, I'm
not so sure the mono 45 could be a fold down of this
stereo mix and I think it's more likely that the mono
is an actual dedicated mix.


I was just listening to a collection on the Rhino label from 2001:

The Very Best of Burt Bacharach Rhino R276721 Produced by Bill Inglot.

On this CD, they have a nice clean sounding version that doesn't sound quite the way I'm used to hearing it. (Raindrops Keep...)

I think I read earlier that Bill Inglot did some work on a different Rhino set that was pulled from 8 track masters? Maybe this Bacharach collection has that version?

The Very Best of Burt Bacharach Rhino release is
essentially a single-disc overview of Rhino's "Look of
Love" box set. All the tracks that appear on it are
taken from said box set.

This Bachrach disc contains the original LP mix of
"Raindrops..." and not the slightly better sounding Bill
Inglot "stereo single" remix which appeared on later
pressings of Rhino's BJ Thomas "Greatest Hits".

How does anyone identify the proper Rhino B J Thomas
Greatest Hits containing the Inglot stereo single remix of
Raindrops Keep Falling?

On the reissue, the red oval Rhino logo on the spine
replaces the lettering version of the Rhino logo.

If it helps, my copy of the disc was pressed at WEA in
Olyphant and has "W2387" followed by 3 R2 70752-2-05 in
the inner ring.

I will say it again - you all are AMAZING. It's always
fascinating to read your detective work.
