Album Description
The album that started the Herb Alpert phenomenon! POriginally released in 1962, The Lonely Bull was not only Herb Alpert's musical debut, but the first album released on AM Records. "After experiencing my first bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico," Alpert recalls, "I was inspired to find a way to musically express what I felt while watching the wild responses of the crowd, and hearing the brass musicians introducing each new event with rousing fanfare." PThe excitement translated, and The Lonely Bull was a stunning success. The title track hit the Billboard Top 10, as did the LP, which peaked at #10 and remained on the album chart for three years. The disc also includes the perennial stadium favorite "Never On Sunday," and the intricate, bossa nova-inflected "Desafinado." The cover, featuring Alpert toasting with a tequila glass, began a run of memorable TJB covers#151;including the groundbreaking and unforgettable one featuring a barely covered model immortalized on the Whipped Cream Other Delights. PEach album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.

I really enjoy TJB but this one was not like 'Whipped Cream' that I remember as a lad. It was, to me, so much elevator music. I'll always be nostalgic for the Lonely Bull cut, though. Also, all the sound seems to come from the right channel on most cuts except for the trumpet that comes from the left. No explanation for this. I don't know if this was just my CD or what but I'm not going through the hassle of sending it back.
Great first album, brings thoughts of bullfights and fiestas February 13, 2008
Michael D. Chlanda
This first effort from Herb Alpert (who's actually Jewish, as the booklet describes) features the Title track and one of his biggest hits. The opening to it brings to mind bullfights, lovely senoritas [tilde over the n to be read], and fiestas. Along with his other cds, South Of The Border, Whipped Creme And Other Delights, and Going Places, they provide a sound often imitated, but never duplicated. Great.
A must for Herb Alpert fans October 22, 2007
Rhys M. Berryman (Great Falls, MT (USA))
This re-release of Herb Alpert's first album is something no Herb Alpert fan should be without, even if you have earlier releases. The recording quality is excellent! Recommended.
PASS THE TEQUILA! AND LISTEN TO THE BRASS! July 11, 2007
! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
I have fond memories of the music of Herb Alpert! I was introduced to him at an early age as my parents were fans of his records. I didn't hear much of him again until I was coming of age in Wildwood N.J. at the age of 15 when I used to party under the boardwalk with my friends and our girlfriends underneath Hunt's Pier's "El Scrambler" ride. The ride played Herb Alpert tunes non stop! I guess you could say I became a "Man" underneath that pier with my first love listening to the Tijuana Brass. Later in life in my 30's I was taking a break from playing in a band in the local bars,I became a DJ and I would mix Herb Alpert in my mixes and buy shots of Tequila for my fans! To this day when I play these songs at parties we all look for the Tequila bottle! This is a one of a kind sound and if I were stranded on a desert island with only a few albums, Herb Alpert the Tijuana Brass would be included in that collection! This is an excellent album,but not his best! I no longer own the original records so, I can not say if the new cd's are true to the originals. They sound fantastic to my ear!
