Listener Reviews & Comments
Way back in the '60s, you couldn't go through ANYONE's record collection without finding at least one copy of this album. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass had taken the country by storm, and this was the album that helped them do it. A&M's co-founder, Jerry Moss, is credited with the idea of making the album about food, and the choice of Dolores Erickson to grace the cover of the album, was no small part in helping this album toward success. Back in the 1980's, when CDs were becoming a viable format, WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS became a natural album to reissue, and it was - both in Japan and in the US. As the '90s rolled on, the album remained in print on CD right up to the year 2000. That's when a settlement occured between Herb Alpert and Universal Music, who through an earlier deal, had acquired Herb's former record company, A&M Records. As a result of that settlement, all of Herb's albums went out of print, including this gem, and have remained out of print until now. With the rights to the recordings reverting back to Herb himself, Shout! Factory, a small-label division of Sony has now been licensed to remaster and reissue the old albums, with Herb's help and approval. Along with the classic album here are two previously unissued recordings, finished off by Herb for release here. Included in this 40th anniverary reissue, are the two extra songs, new liner notes by Herb Alpert himself as well as Josh Kun, new remastering by the legendary Bernie Grundman, and a mini-poster of the famous cover. How does it sound? Bernie Grundman's remastering is amazing, making the sounds of this album more detailed than ever before. All in all, this is one album that'll have you tapping your toes and humming the melodies for a long time.
