Scepter Recordings

"Make It Easy On Yourself : The Scepter Recordings 1962-1971" is the definitive celebration of one of the most successful and acclaimed vocalists of all time, 6 time Grammy award winner and 2024 'Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame' inductee Dionne Warwick.

The 1st ever collection to comprehensively chronicle the 1st decade of the legendary Dionne Warwick’s recording career and her era defining collaborations with songwriters and producers Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Deluxe 12 CD set’s whopping 280 tracks encompass every original Scepter album and single release plus over 60 rare bonus tracks, 16 of which are previously unreleased, both in the studio and in concert, for a total of over 14 hours of timeless Warwick magic.

Includes the exclusive bonus disc, "Always Something There : Live & Studio Gems From The Scepter Vaults", which premieres a lost 1969 concert from Washington, DC.

Never before heard alternate takes of "Don’t Say I Didn’t’ Tell You So", "Who Gets The Guy", "Walk The Way You Talk", and "We’ve Only Just Begun", along with the official CD debuts of Leslie Uggams and Dionne’s rare duet of Bacharach & David’s "Try To See It My Way" and the film soundtrack versions of Dionne’s songs from "The LOve Machine".

With David Nathan as executive producer, this Soul Music Records and The Second Disc box set is produced by Joe Marchese and Jim Pierson, beautifully designed by John Sellards, while all tracks have been newly mastered by Nick Robbins.

This 225th re-issue from Soul Music Records completes the primary trio of Dionne’s incredible recording legacy, alongside Dionne Warwick box sets, "Sure Thing : The Warner Bros. Recordings 1972 - 1977" and "Deja Vu : The Arista Recordings 1979 - 1994".

With the co-operation of Miss Warwick herself, this is the ultimate tribute to this extraordinary artist and global icon.
