Blimey. I'm nine years old again listening to this on my Dads radiogram. .
I used to spin around the living room to this!
This album came out when I was in middle school and I was playing tumpet in the band/orchestra. My mom bought the album and would play it all the time.
Cool! Happy memories!
My mom would put this record on when she wanted all us kids to clean up the house really really fast. In that slow part we would move in slow motion, then speed up!
Yes yes and Yes -- and then I would play it while cleaning my college dorm, too
OOOH such precious memories
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass was a great band and still has many fans according to what I see many of your listeners writing
Talk about Cultural Appropriation! love it!
Blending in the melting pot. He's like Cheech Marin. "Born In East L.A."
Made me dance in my garage again!
No whisky needed. LoL
RP, you irresitably and consisretly rock my world!
aaand I'm doing the 'chair disco' my Mum did in the 50's
No whisky needed. LoL
RP, you irresitably and consisretly rock my world!
And me ,exactly the same . Play it every Xmas!
This is just what the doctor ordered.
performing with a Latino/Mexican band recording a Greek themed soundtrack.
Take that and party...
The "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" cover was an invitation to partake of pleasures that are displayed now without pleasure or delight or invitation.
Herb Alpert takes me back to a good place in this time of coronavirus quarantine.
Take that and party...
Our band director said Herb Alpert could step up to a trumpet suspended on a wire, hands behind his back, and blow C above the staff. He's one of the best there ever was.

Nothing better than a pregnant woman covered in shaving cream!
Nice, but I wish we also heard the original.
LONG LIVE RADIO PARADISE (AND BILL) FOR PLAYING THE MOST JUICIEST, BESTEST, "MOOZIK" ON THIS EARTH!
LYB
BillG must pull this track out often enough to have 1000+ ratings, yet I don't know if I've heard any of the "old" Herb Alpert records on RP until now. And I'm stoked! My dad, among his rather varied LP collection, was a BIG fan of HA&TTBB; of course, I remember it in reverse chronological order, starting with Rise, which came out when we lived in the 805 (Carpentaria in the house!!) and I was about 4-5 years old.
So, maybe I'll get to hear this 9 next time... Long Live RP!!
This one's also enjoyable.
Yes, I like this version. Years ago there was a tuba player who tried to perform this as an audition for The Ed Sullivan Show. He started out pretty well but by the fourth verse he blew his spleen out.
I agree!!!!
I couldn't believe my ears! It's been at least 40 years since I heard this. Thanks, Bill.
(This is why I give Bill money. If you aren't a supporting member, shame on you.)
What kind of tape is that? I used to have quarter inch RTR's that were on five(?) inch reels. Those look smaller. And maybe only ~10 minutes of music.
That is a 7" reel to reel tape that was factory pre recorded at 7.5 ips being played on Ferrograph Super 7 machine that can handle up to 10.5" reels. Its 1/4" tape also. That particular tape plays about 45 mins.

ouzo
Greek music on the Mexican way : inconfortable and strange at first sight, but it's worth to pass the first impression.
One of the best parties I went to was hosted by a bunch of Greeks!
Chuckle, chuckle; BIG chuckle .....
The credits have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute."
That's what this calls to my mind, anyway.
(edit a few minutes later) And we all know he's the "A" in A&M records, right? Of course we do.
This song feels like my carefree youth.
.. or not
Indulge yourself!
I will admit as lad of 10 or so spending more time looking at this particular record in my parent's collection than any of the others.... by a significant margin.
Kind of jarring after Cake. But I like it, for some unknown reason.

I'm surprised to hear it here, but I'm glad they play it - I'd like to hear more of this genre on RP. In the studio, The Tijuana Brass was often largely comprised of members of The Wrecking Crew.
Wrecking Crew Charts More Than the Beatles
Et tu, Brutus?
Herb Alpert and The TJB did not have an album titled "A Taste Of Honey". Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss had won Record Of The Year in 1965 for "A Taste Of Honey", which was on the iconic Whipped Cream and Other Delights album. Frank Sinatra won album of the year in 1965 for September Of My Years.
Anyhow, it was a different time, obviously - a lot more adults bought records in those days than kids did. 1966's Grammy for Album of the Year went to Frank Sinatra's A Man & His Music. The Beatles' "Michelle" won Song Of The Year, and Klaus Voorman won Best Album Cover - Graphic Arts for the Revolver cover. By 1967, the Academy changed their tune, and Sgt. Pepper's... won Album of the Year.
Nice report! I remember those days better than what I had for lunch last week!

I'm sure you did. I did the same.

Yup, I'm with you. The RP magic hasn't been flowing this morning.
If Bill plays it on RP then it's by definition "RP material". Plus it's awesome.
Definitely agree with the first part, not so much with the second, just not my thing, but I will gladly listen to a few songs that drive me nuts for all of the awesome variety here!
Big time.
My Dad had this album (probably still does somewhere)
And don't forget Bil Cosby comediy albums! Also, watching The Avengers, The Saint and The Prisoner on TV during the summer....
God I love Bill!!! I played him over and over and over. I made an 8 hour reel to reel of all his records on my Dads tape deck. I'm sure I annoyed people by repeating his skits word for word.
I got to see him live about 6 months ago. Not like the old times but still funny.
Thanks for that.
Edit.. I am in the process of educating my boy about Bill. He loves the stories.
Not good at all.
;)
brutal
As in the redonkulous artistry and skill slamming into you like Mjolnir? I agree.
Herb Alpert's technique was simply astounding.
