I'll have to check at home tonight, but I think it was reworked and included on this album. Have to see how they handled the bass if it is.
It is on this album. Apollo Jane sings lead, Deitrick Haddon adds some additonal vocals for a couple of nice moments. There's some bass here but not having the original to compare to, I'm not sure if it's the same. Still, a great arrangement. In fact, all of the arrangements are pretty spectacular.

Edit to add: pretty sure his portraits were designed to impart the aura of someone very serious but it sure appears that he's not a terribly happy person. His personal photographs that are included are, however, stunning.

Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass – Whipped Cream & Other Delights
A&M LP-110
1965
My folks brought this album home in 1965, and I loved the music, but that girl behind the whipped cream kept me awake for months !!!!!
Had to buy my own years later.
I agree with George, the vinyl from A&M from this period is always very well engineered…..thanks MB1953, I just had to pull this album, after your post…..and that girl behind the whipped cream still does it for me ! :D
