Title: Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass - Whipped Cream & Other Delights
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Pop, Easy Listening, Los Angeles
Matrix #: SP-4110
Condition: VG+ (VZ)
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Alpert did not start this as a real touring band. The Tijuana Brass began as a studio project while he was still more comfortable writing, producing, and running A&M.
-
Album Art Cover model Dolores Erickson was three months pregnant. The “whipped cream” was mostly shaving cream and chiffon because real cream melted under the lights.
-
Media Narrative The cover became so famous it nearly overshadowed the record, but the album still spent years on the charts and turned Alpert into a national crossover star.
