Anyone Who Had a Heart is a 1997 Burt Bacharach tribute album by Australian jazz pianist Joe Chindamo.
It was originally released in 1997 by Larrikin Records. [1]
The Japanese label Sawano had planned to distribute the album in Japan during 2000. However, they were unable to, since Larrikin Records had recently been purchased by Festival Records, with all old copies having been scrapped during the takeover.

In 2011, it was reissued by Jazzhead Records, on both CD and digital platforms. [3] [4]
In their review, The Age labelled it "by far the best" Burt Bacharach tribute album of the year. They wrote, "Chindamo deconstructs and reassembles Bacharach, highlighting such characteristics as the unexpected modulations and sudden rhythmic changes. Chindamo's finesse, precision and gorgeous sound are givens, his left hand anchoring the groove while his right produces star-bursts of color." [1]
