Audio CD Description

In an era when elaborate wordplay and adventurous production were the order of the day, Herb Alpert made an impact barely uttering a word or breaking a mold, other than expanding the commercial parameters for pop instrumentalists. Dashing trumpeter Alpert and his Tijuana Brass scored five top-20 hits between 1962 (when "The Lonely Bull" climbed to No. 11 in the U.S.) and 1968 (when the vocal-driven "This Guy's in Love with You" cracked the top 10), racking up five No. 1 albums over the same period. The group's patented "Ameriachi" sound made up in south-of-the-border sprightliness what it lacked in innovation; the likes of "Spanish Flea" and "Casino Royale" possessed the kind of unshakable hooks that fit perfectly on top-40 radio sandwiched between Nancy Sinatra and the Mamas & the Papas. This 20-track overview serves up 13 selections from the Tijuana Brass's heyday and is rounded up with seven Alpert solo selections, including comeback hits from 1979 ("Rise") and '87 ("Diamonds").


Comments From Our Customers

Why Pay These Prices?

There's an old saying about a fool and his/her money. Why get ripped off when there's a very good chance you can buy many of the same songs by the same artist (though NOT identified as such) for a dollar or less. I paid 49 cents for my copy. How? Look through the cut out bins for a CD entitled "South of the Border" by wink, wink, "The Enrico Serenade". This CD will be on the Compose label (No. 9041-2). It was recorded in 1990 and, it just happens to contain songs like South of the Border, Tijuana Taxi, Blue Spanish Eyes, the Spanish Flea, A Taste of Honey, Meixcan Shuffle and a few others that will sound strangely familiar if you're a Herb Alpert fan.


Ole! Herb Alpert and TJB!

Hearing the recordings by Herb and the TJB after many years brought me back to why I enjoyed them during high school. When I heard "Lonely Bull", it was immediately back in my heart along with memories.


Definitely "Definitive"

Having been a fan of Herb Alpert for years, I've been searching for more than just a "greatest hits" CD. This compilation does it! Superb! I'd highly recommend this CD.
