Re: No, but most of my albums have more than 1 good song

>>you virtually never hear anything about this particular cut<<

Don't take this as an insult, but are you a relatively new audiophile? I can't think of another record that's gotten as much attention in the audiophile press, with the possible exception of Dark Side of the Moon. Casino Royale and especially "The Look Of Love" were mentioned in pretty much every review Harry Pearson wrote in TAS in the 1980s. "Look" was his most frequently used reference. Thanks to HP praising CR as one of the finest sounding records ever it became the Holy Grail of audiophile record collecting. Prices went up dramatically. There was such a demand for it that it was bootlegged at least once by some Spanish outfit, and Classic Records issued a 180g 12" 45 of "Look of Love."

I don't deny that "Look" is a terrific song and a great performance, but the rest of the album is completely forgettable.
