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.

The bass line on that tune is extrordinary...we're talkin rattle shit off the walls....and i tear up everytime I play it....something about that song gets me....right in the feelers...
 
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".
 
All it took was money....a well engineered album in those days was expensive, not prohibitively so, but enough that if you didn't have the pull or some say over the creative process it wasn't gonna happen...
