About Herb Alpert - Definitive Hits
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"). --Steven Stolder Amazon.com

This had all my Herb Alpert favorites plus additional songs I'd never heard before. I really love this album. The first 13 songs are with the Tijuana Brass and are, in my opinion, the best on the album. The remaining 7 songs are okay, but not quite as good. Then again, I am a fan of the Tijuana Brass sound. It was definitely worth the price to me.
February 17, 2008I bought this for my friend and he was thrilled, the sound was really great ! I will make future purchases from this vendor.
January 18, 2008I am very pleased with this album!! It's a lot of fun and instantly made me want to get up out of my chair and hop around the room! My husband, infant son, and I have all had a nice time listening and bobbing along to these peppy hits! If you are a Tijuana Brass or Herb Alpert fan, I recommend getting this album!
It's so nice to _finally_ find so many of the hits that I recognize on ONE album! It's a winner!!
