Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
Great collection of hits
My record player broke a few years ago and I really missed playing all my Tijuana Brass albums. This CD fixes the problem. I just wish it had better cover art. I love the photos and fonts on the old albums.

Still Sounds Great ! ! !
Anyone who was around for the Tijuana Brass era will love their contribution to this CD. However.....you have to be a jazz fan (which I am) to enjoy the 2nd portion of this CD. The differences are almost contradictory. The A&M "Classics, Vol 1" would be perfect for the casual fan. Of course, the remastered version is better quality than "Classics."

A Very Good Way To Listen To Alpert
I still have the original A&M 45rpm single of The Lonely Bull I bought in the record bin of a dime store in Jacksonville Fla in 1963. I have always loved that first record, and while my parents were bigger fans of the rest of the early hits from the '60's than I was, I find it a treat to listen to them now on this disc. Throw in a couple of the later numbers, especially Rise, and this is well forth the price.

Enough of the "HITS" already!
I don't mean to be cranky, but this CD disappointed me personally. I've been longing to see Herb's 80's work on CD - they contain some amazing music. With the recent re-release of "RISE", I'm anticipating other titles from the 80's like, "Magic Man", "Fandango", "Blow Your Own Horn", "Wild Romance", etc. This stuff is as Definitive as it gets!
