 Herb Alpert RULES! July 31, 2008

This is one of the greatest albums ever. Herb Alpert was one of the few that could compete with the intense popularity of the Beatles and Stones back in the ERA-I highly recommend all the original AM reissues-they are all great and sound amazing. This album is my favorite-seriously-I listen to this album every morning! A great way to start out!
Another slice of the "fiesta" music from Mr. Alpert 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, The Lonely Bull, Whipped Creme And Other Delights, and Going Places, they provide a sound often imitated, but never duplicated. Great.
THE BRASS SOMETIMES CAN KICK SOME A** December 28, 2007
COMPUTERJAZZMAN (Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States)
THIS ALBUM FROM HERB ALPERT AND THE TIJUANA BRASS WAS RELEASED IN 1964. SOME OF THE CUTS ARE GREAT, SOME NOT SO GREAT (LIKE HELLO, DOLLY, AND THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA, WHICH ARE KIND OF WEAK). BUT THE OTHER SONGS, THE ONES WRITTEN BY HERB ALPERT (THE MEXICAN SHUFFLE, FOR EXAMPLE), ARE GREAT, AND EPITOMIZE THE SOUND OF THE TB.
So excited to find it.... July 22, 2007

My son was learning to play the trumpet, and loves to listen to brass. So, I remembered an album (for those of you who are old enough to remember what those are..ha!) that my parents always listened to while I was growing up. I figured I'd never find it, but I typed in the name in Google and it took me to Amazon...amazingly, there it was!! I couldn't believe how easy it was to find it! I ordered it for my son for his birthday, and he loved it. It's fun to keep the vintage stuff alive....I will now refer to Amazon any time I'm looking for something.

I am repeating this story you are about to read as it gives an explanation of why I love this music so much! "South of the Border" has many of the songs on it used on the ride you are about to read about. It is one of my favorite Herb albums for that reason. That being said....Please read on.....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 one of his best albums. 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!
