herb alpert's tijuana brass

at least 97% of the time i go record digging for for as long as i can remember, no matter how large or small the cache of records, this record shows up most of the time multiple copies.... is this an epidemic in your town? or what is the record you come across more than any other?

the funny thing is i will never buy it... the cover is classic and sexy as hell.. but i refuse to purchase.

F'real. It's not necessarily "crate-digging" material, but if you want to study how to make insanely catchy melodies that you can't help but get stuck in your head, Herb Alpert is the muvaf*ing man at it. Plus, "This Guy's In Love With You" rocks.

This is like James Last. Everywhere I go there is 5 -10 James Last records. I never touched em, but then I seen someone else on here mention him, did he put out something I should pick up?

I'm curious about that too. Every time I go to a boot sale there are so many James Last & Herb Alpert (Nana Maskouri is another one) recs but always avoid them like the plague (ok I think I do have one Herb Alpert rec somewhere but I got it for some brass one shots). See a lot of George Benson too but it's always his 80s stuff.

You know what's crazy though, what if the most insane break of all time -- "Funky Drummer" or "Apache" style is on a Gene Audrey record. The Hip-Hop world may never know!
