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

Herb.....Going Places
Quiet vinyl and superbly engineered. Have to wonder why A&M could pull this off and others didn't.

I have a lot of Chuck Mangione's early vinyl, which was also on A&M, and it is superbly engineered as well.
A&M was founded, owned and managed in 1962 by Herb Alpert and Jerry Ross. Alpert knew what the music needed to sound like, especially horns, and I imagine we have him to thank for such well-engineered vinyl of the day. I'll dig out some of my early Chuck Mangione on A&M tomorrow.
I have all of the Mangione Brothers music (with his brother Gap) from 1958 to 1961 but I believe they recorded those albums for Riverside, as "The Mangione Brothers Sextet" and "The Jazz Brothers".

My understanding is that the woman on the cover of "Whipped Cream And Other Delights" was a Seattle woman named Dolores Erickson, now 80 (as is Alpert). She was noticeably pregnant at the time and the photographer added the shaving cream to cover the "bump" in her wedding dress. Then things got interesting.
Here is another picture of that photoshoot:

One of my favorites, such a good recording. And when I was a kid, I thought Herb was so freaking lame because my parents liked his music. I was so wrong!
Been listening to Metallica Greatest Hits 2023 over and over all day. Trying to dig the tunes, but, no, it's just OK. Enough Metallica.

Have you watched Paradise Lost, the West Memphis 3? The music is all Metallica in the 3 episode series. Good watch.
