Search - Herb Alpert, Tijuana Brass :: Lost Treasures

22 Previously Unreleased and Rare Recordings That Are Just as Good as the Hits! The first album by the original Tijuana Brass lineup in 30 years, Lost Treasures compiles previously unreleased tracks and hard-to-find rarities, hand-picked by Alpert himself. Herb Alpert was so prolific in the ?60s that tons of great songs got left behind in the vaults. Many are interpretations of songs by pop music?s greatest writers, including James Taylor?s "Fire and Rain" and The Beatles? "And I Love Her." Other standouts include Cat Stevens? "Whistlestar," written specifically for Alpert, and Burt Bacharach and Hal David?s "(They Long To Be) Close To You," which, after recording it himself, he felt was better suited to a new A&M act called The Carpenters. This song, like the other 21 gems here, has been newly mixed and mastered. Each album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.
