Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream & Other Delights vinyl review | Vinyl Rewind

[@rssbrry]

This is the album that got me into Herb Alpert. Now I have at least 9 records of his, all garage sale finds, it's all great stuff. Awesome video on a great album, man.

[@VinylRewind]

rssbrry thank you! Yes, he's fun to collect for because his stuff is cheap and usually in minty shape

[@GrayRealities]

Hey, Eric, I have every lp by Herb, and yes I've played this one in full many times in fact I'll play it today! I'm looking forward to more great trumpeter reviews like "Al Hirt" hits like "Sugar Lips" and "Java". Great review good to see you Thanks

[@VinylRewind]

Good to know! I used Al Hirt in a short I made in college. It's on my photo video site but not on KZbin, I gotta fix that. Thanks for watching

[@rubedogg6969]

Found this kinda by accident but I love it since you reviewed one of my favorite albums of all time. Have you reviewed What now my love yet?

[@VinylRewind]

+Ruben Delgadillo I have not

[@eddiewillers1442]

I bought it just for the album cover.

[@jimmmmybrady]

That Album PROVES that it is all about the MELODIES !!!!! GREAT ALBUM,GREAT SONGS!!!

[@VinylRewind]

Very true. I love your enthusiasm.

[@jimmmmybrady]

Vinyl Rewind Coooool channel.

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

I have three copies, for some reason. Actually, it's because I've had one copy for decades, I bought another at a thrift store for 50¢, then I inherited my dad's copy when he passed last year. I heard a joke once that every thrift store in the US has at least one copy.

[@VinylRewind]

the key is finding one still in the shrink

[@sentino68]

LOL! I just found a copy today at my local thrift store! One quarter. Actually was in very good condition and no scratches. Pretty neat find.

[@Whitewater11]

I own the album, it was my parents and I remember staring at the cover as a young man when no one else was around. Now that it's in my bin I have yet to listen to it, not my style but was glad to learn more about it.

[@robsonbass6058]

Watch Boondock Saints, High Fidelity or pretty much ANY movie from the last ten years or so that has a scene where someone is handling or looking at records. This record will be in the stack. It's hilarious.

[@VinylRewind]

+Robs OnBass haha, I wonder how many films it's been in

[@luccasbuvolini6257]

"Lemon Tree" foi uma versão maravilhosa da saudosa música "Meu Limão, Meu Limoeiro" do Brasil!

[@VirginSuicide77]

The model on the cover was pregnant at the time. She was also the model on the cover of The Sandpipers' "Guantanamera" album.

[@wildbilltexas]

In 1966 when I was 5 my parents bought a big RCA Vista console stereo (mom still has it in the living room) and a couple of Herb Alpert albums. So "Whipped Cream" was one of the first albums I ever heard in Stereo and I still like it. And its funny that people who buy this album as a joke wind up liking it and Herb's music after they play it.

[@VinylRewind]

+wildbilltexas So true, it's really worth a listen! Thanks for sharing

[@wildbilltexas]

+Vinyl Rewind All of his records are fun.. his later 70's-80's Jazz albums are excellent! Sad that people think of Alpert as a cheese master while he was a super-talented arranger, producer and record company co-owner of A&M Records.

[@VinylRewind]

+wildbilltexas Of definitely, he seeme like an all around great guy. And here in LA, he's really given back to the community.

[@TheVinylCorner]

Great episode Eric! I will keep my eyes open while digging at local thrift stores.

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you Mikko! Happy hunting!

[@audiosaurus6511]

The model is called Dolores Erickson. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/herb-alperts-whipped-cream-lady-now-76-living-in-longview-and-looking-back/

[@Vinylrebel72]

Ive been a Herb Alpert fan since the 70s, Herb Alpert also discovered and signed The Carpenters.

[@mariameidani1143]

the most sexy lp cover ever made untill now......ERICSON is real hot!!!!!!......german press has better cover.....glossy shine photo

[@wyattb.249]

Hey Geek, I own the album and I've listened to it a LOT. And I've also been playing jazz guitar most of my life. From what I can tell you about the names getting mixed up theory, I'd say that the album got the names right. The song Tangerine is actually from the old 40's movie called "The Fleet's In". Tommy Dorsey is the one who made the song famous. I've actually played the song a number of times in some of my "gigs". From the recordings that I've heard of the song, it's been played in several different speeds and rhythms, and Tommy Dorsey's version starts out slow and then speeds up. So my conclusion is that Bittersweet Samba is just another song that fell victim to bad name choice. =)

[@NHMusicVideos]

Hey, great to see a new video! :D Nice as usual, I already heard of this album but never listened to it, looks nice, i need to check it out! :)

[@VinylRewind]

Haha, well you gotta let me know what you think of it when ya do! Thanks for watching!

[@dixielandfarm]

Great episode - Herb Albert is such a fine player, and the musicianship is impeccable... overlooked along with Al Hirt because of the schmaltz and overabundance, but I find that if you see the record all over the place, then it must have sold for a reason. There is a place for pleasant background music - like when getting sauced or when you are enjoying some nice clam dip.

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you! I couldn't agree with you more, Herb is a great player. What exactly is clam dip? lol

[@clericduran]

picked up this album because of the cover and figured for $1 why not...such a fun listen. I definitely have to be in a certain mood.

[@VinylRewind]

+Ephraim Duran yes, you certainly need to be in the right mood. Probably not the best thing to listen to at the tail end of a 12 hour road trip

[@starshiptrooper7670]

Parents had this. Never listened to it but I loved the cover!

[@rubberalleybluesband]

i buy every copy i see for a dollar or less, i even have the reel to reel. you do know there's a picture disc they put out a couple years ago right?

[@VinylRewind]

Dang, so that's where they all went. I've seen photos of the picture disc but I wasn't sure if it was an official release or not.

[@aldiakaroofus]

Reel-to-reel, lucky!

[@thedarkdescent2387]

The Tangerine name is not a mistake. ‘Tangerine’ was an old hit for Jimmy Dorsey in the 1940s. The original is great too.

[@1980sGamer]

I picked up a decent condition mono copy of it. And now I'm looking for a decent mono copy of !!Going Places!! which is also by Herb Albert. I loved it. I'm only 21 as well.

[@VinylRewind]

Man, the mono copies are hard to find, at least in wild, I always seem to find stereo pressings

[@1980sGamer]

Another fun fact. The earliest copies don't have A Taste of Honey highlighted in yellow on the cover. It's blue like the rest of the tracks. :) I live in Canada and the one I found is a US mono copy.

[@markcampbell2515]

I'm a huge fan of the album, only finding it over 5 decades after its initial release. I now own it on CD, vinyl, and saw Herb in concert in 2022!

[@luvyduvchannel]

WOW .. YOU ARE HOT!!! ..***** giggles and runs away**** My Father was lead singer from "the palace guard" his name was David Beaudoin.. had a popular single in the 60's called falling sugar. :)

[@VinylRewind]

Thank ya ;) Whoa, no way, very cool. These guys? The Palace Guard - Falling Sugar

[@luvyduvchannel]

Vinyl Rewind Yes :) the singer with the dark hair is my Dad David Beaudoin,. The other singer with the lighter hair is my uncle John (John Beaudoin) They were the house band at the hullaballo .. opened for sunny and cher.. and lots more. i have lots of cool stuff my mom gave me and my dad when he was still alive from those days. thank you for responding back. i really like your channel :)

[@VinylRewind]

luvy duv Wow, that's so cool. It must be a trip for you to see that old footage of them rocking out. Talk soon!

[@HunterMann]

Thanks for the good review video, it is a historical album and I’m surprise you don’t think it’s worth listening to. There was actually a later remix with hip-hop artist produced by herb, I think it was titled re-whipped. I think it’s odd that it took you three years of digging through ThriftStore bins to find a copy. After hearing that in your video I went out randomly to two garage sales and to thrift stores and found seven copies of it, total time spent traveling and searching about 42 minutes. I know, what am I supposed to do with the rest of the three years I have left for searching for cool bachelor pad music? If I were to do a remix of my own with this album I would simply make each song a lot longer, this is one of those LPs that you put it on and before you know it it’s time to flip the record over. If you use a record stacker you should consider buying two copies of this LP that way after you play side one the next one on the stack a side too, pretty cool that way

[@williamlangan5902]

Your review got me curious enough to seek it out and listen. I remember hearing Taste Of Honey on long trips in the car as a kidand the songs Whipped Cream and Lollipops And Roses. And as always, Auntie was hilarious in this review! Overall, a good and fair review. The lady who posed on the cover is still alive and very humble and gracious

[@gilespeterson6832]

Paul Horn ain't got shit on Mr. Alpert, bruh.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

infamous? (do you know the difference. between famous and infamous?) cult classic?? cheesecake??? lounge music?? cliché?? a joke?!? It's sold 7 million albums, guessing most people have heard the whole album (most scores of times) Tangerine, a Taste of Honey, and Lollipops and Roses had been hits for others before appearing here, too. Tangerine is a famous Johnny Mercer song from the '40s, so no, not mistitled. All food? yeah, what did you think the reference to "other delights" meant Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass are the only group to ever have 5 albums in the top 20 simultaneously. They had a very broad appeal (unlike you)

[@ElectedOfficial1]

Commercial...vote Lisa brown!! Mc Morris I worked with when she was human...want to keep rights to your children?! Get mc Morris out of office!! NOW!

[@robsonbass6058]

So, has anybody noticed that Herb Alpert records are actually going up in price quite a bit? I just pulled out my 2,800 albums from ten years of storage. About a third of those were albums I kept from bulk lots I bought at estate sales back when nobody wanted records. Anyway, I found, as I sorted my records, that I had four copies of this - one in mono. I'm rediscovering the TJB now, actually. The first copy I ever owned, I purchased as a kid and brought to my high school library (I was in the AV department of the library) in my sophomore year. Someone stole it. That was the wrong album cover to bring to a high school. :)

[@Luc-Sist_07]

Hi, when you said they built the whole album by food and the “whipped cream’ single you’re right. But… there’s a history that makes it different Jerry moss, fiend of Herb alpert and co-owner of A&M records, bet Herb to make the album by food. Moss said that herb had to to do the album in base by food or Alpert had to give 50 dollars

[@flipflopnerd4759]

which would be your favourite songs from the album? mine would personally be *a taste of honey* and *lady fingers* !

[@AL5J_]

Listened to this first on 4 track then on 8 track in the car for miles and miles and miles on family vacations.

[@nancied4955]

The cover may have helped sales 😊

[@525Lines]

The later Herb Alpert albums didn't do as great and you'll often find later albums of his unopened, with stickers on them saying they're gift records as part of your stereo purchase. Also the album Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America was used on Chicago's Svengoolie program for several little audio drop ins.

[@VinylRewind]

Whoa, I just looked up Svengoolie, wow, thank you so much. I never knew about him before!

[@Juan-wo7zu]

I found Spanish flea in a charity shop and bought it for 50p

[@calvinyurko]

I own the mono and the stereo press! ...I may have a problem.

[@JackSProductions98]

Whipped cream is constantly playing in hell...

[@jasond9696]

I don't know I got here but I like your channel

[@nitedreamer23]

Another solid production from the VR crew!. Great job, Geek. Love the series! Keep'em coming.

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you and I will keep'em coming!

[@shyphyre]

A quick comment about the albums chart position in January of 1966. Maybe you mean that the album was replaced by the Beatle's Rubber Soul album instead of Revolver. Rubber Soul was released in late 1965 and climbed the charts in early 1966. The Revolver album was released in August of 1966.

[@VinylRewind]

shyphyre You're absolutely correct! Thanks for catching that error. I added an annotation with the correction.

[@earheadsix4119]

I do own it but have never listened to it. Admittedly I bought it for the iconic cover photograph. I need to give it a fair spin. Glad you are back from an extended break.

[@VinylRewind]

let me know when you do. It's a fun one and thank you, it's good to be back

[@lizoxoxo121]

Great review! Haven't seen you in a while. Love this music so much. Hey do you have a spotify account I can follow?

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you! I have a personal account, Eric J Callero but I don't use the app much. I use Last.fm a lot, if you want to see what I've been listening to lately

[@lizoxoxo121]

Cool, let me check it out. Thanks!

[@gilespeterson6832]

I actually went to Value Village today, and I usually collect CDs. I got curious about their small vinyl section, and rummaged through it. I saw this album and my jaw was on the floor for a few minutes before I put it down and said, "I don't have a record player. Maybe they can have a CD reissue." But it made my entire day.

[@robmonica8764]

We love it!

[@jwcallero]

What's up with the bar? Nice touch to the vinyl pad.

[@VinylRewind]

thank ya!

[@thenewsupercfl]

I remember this lp when I was 9. Couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I always pick these up when I see them at the thrift stores. I like the Mono lp version better. It is fun trying to find both Mono and Stereo versions of this and all the other lps around this time period. I still have not listened to the whole thing yet. It seemed like having this lp on your radio/hi-fi system back then was just part of being hip to the times. People of all ages were buying this lp-even displaying it on top of their hi-fi. If you want to hear where Herb Alpert got the idea for the whole Tijuana Brass concept check out Bob Moore "Mexico" That Lp is very good.

[@VinylRewind]

Any reasons why the Mono version is better/ I'm always curious. I can totally picture people doing that back in the day. Thanks for sharing. I will check Bob Moore's album. Thank you for watching

[@BarakaPDub]

Sweet review. Glad to have you guys back in the new year and I am looking forward to more.

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you! We're glad to be back. Adding the bar area took longer than expected

[@InquisiitorWH44K]

Being from the sixties, this album seemed to be a staple in our house, playing on a long defunct Magnavox stereo tube console. Herb's Going Places and Lonely Bull albums as well. I eventually inherited Dad's collection and even have this one downloaded on my iPhone. Play it from time to time when I get in the mood for something from what now seem like simpler times. Nice review and say hello to your Auntie.

[@anubisswift]

the first half of this review...so much passion

[@VinylRewind]

thanks

[@donaldrocks101103]

I saw this album on vinyl a million times but still never got it! lol I might just get it now

[@VinylRewind]

You gotta hear it at least once

[@donaldrocks101103]

The last few times I went to the store, I looked and couldn't find it for $1.:/ But in the past I saw it for a $1 a bunch of times.

[@VinylRewind]

***** I think I have three copies at the moment, let me know and I can send you one of mine

[@spencerchristensen5766]

I laughed out loud when I saw the cover, but i was pleasantly surprised with whipped cream. It was stuck in my head for days!

[@johns.9819]

I have tHAT ALBUM AND THAT BRAZILL 66 ALBUM GREAT

[@cmedicinehorse]

Welcome Back. I guess Im going to get this out of Its frame and give It a spin. Im curious now. Thanks for sharing---Colin. Ps. This got me thinking there should be a phone app where people can add their heads Onto an album cover. Thanks for sharing---Colin

[@VinylRewind]

Thanks Colin. I'm courious to see how you like it. I like the app idea

[@garyandleslied]

Hey Colin. Just discovered vinyl rewind myself.

[@CoreysChannel]

I always wondered what was under the whip cream! LOL nice to meet the real woman from the cover. Glad you finally found a nice copy of that iconic album.

[@VinylRewind]

Thanks buddy! Do you have a copy yourself?

[@JoshuaWestbrook]

Bought this album today at goodwill for $1. Fine, almost unplayed condition! What a way to start my vinyl collection. Thanks for the review. Love your channel!

[@VinylRewind]

***** awesome score! Is that really your first record?

[@JoshuaWestbrook]

Vinyl Rewind yes sir it is. I have been into vinyl since the early 80s but never got around to purchasing any of my own since my parents had milk crate upon milk crate of amazing vinyl. they wouldnt let me have them so I have begun my collection this year! yep, 36 years old and finally got an LP haha. as always keep up the great work!!

[@VinylRewind]

***** What a way to start indeed. It's never too late to start. I supposed I never quite since I was a pre-teen however I did take breaks from collecting. How is your setup coming along?

[@JoshuaWestbrook]

I'm addicted. Just scored a bunch of nice LP's at the world famous Wuxtry Records here in Athens, GA. It's an experience to go to a real record store and flip through wooden fruit boxes full of vinyl. The sounds. The smell. It's all part of the experience. Just like big Al! So glad I found your channel and it's great that you dive down into the comments to interact with people. This is great. Once again your editing and production are top notch for the show. The setup is coming along nicely thanks for askin. Scored a new/old stock turntable from none other than goodwill and it surprisingly sounds fantastic. Gonna put a new cartridge in and it should be good to go. Any cartridge recommendations? Need to figure out how to keep the needle clean (someone said magic eraser). Your setup in this video is superb. Great listening room. How's the tiki bar coming along? Can't wait to see it on a future video.

[@VinylRewind]

***** Awesome! I've never been to Wuxtry but now I know where to go if I ever find myself in Athens. As far as cartridges I would check the forums at www.vinylengine.com/. Someone may have the same TT as yours and you can ask about the optimum setup. Or just search around for your TT model and see what pops up. A good rule of thumb is that your cartridge shouldn't cost more than your TT is worth. You're really not going to gain the benefits of a high end cartridge on a standard TT. I probably won't break ground on the Tiki for quite some time. I need to do other things around the house first, so it will be down the road. In the mean time I can use the Vinyl Pad's bar.

[@emptyspotlight]

I listened to their greatest hits album!

[@SpinAlleyStore]

Cool episode. Glad you're back. That album was part of my childhood as well as his other ones and records by Brasil '66. I noticed you have a Brasil '66 album in the background. You may want to review their "Fool On The Hill" album. Be sure to check out the sexy "sand dune" on the cover (tip: you have to open the gatefold to get the full effect). By the way, there was an article on the Whipped Cream lady a couple of years ago. Use this for a search "Herb Alpert's 'Whipped Cream Lady' now 76, living in Longview and looking back".

[@VinylRewind]

I'll have to track that album down, the one you see is the only one I got. Thanks for watching

[@Morbidia]

Wow your aunt is a Brummy. I ove 60's music Scarbourgh Fair that classic sound. I wish you could have played samples from the album. Your an amazing host you could be on major telle shows :)

[@VinylRewind]

Yup "she" sure is. Yeah, I would love to play the music but I never know if KZbin will delete the audio or not, as they have with some of the other videos. I'd rather not take the chance. Thanks for saying so, that's our aim, hopefully then we'll be able to play the music. Thanks for watching!

[@robsonbass6058]

It's amazing how much your room looks like my media room. Seriously. Love it! BTW, I was a fan of the band when all my friends were into Cream, yardbirds, etc. I worked in the AV department of my high school (brand new in 1970 and called the "MILLION DOLLAR high school"). We had a bank of 20 or so open reel decks that played over the air in our library. Anyway, I brought my copy to school with a few other records to play on the wireless system (one of my classes was "working" the AV room). Somebody stole it. No prob. I perused estate sales in Seattle for a few years and bought albums in bulk. I now have five or six copies. Most of them seem to have never been played. :-) We also had a cool black and white open reel video recorder. Recorded Dr. Strangelove off the air one night. The whole AV department (i.e. a bunch of nerds and nerd teacher), stayed up all night to record it. BTW, that nerd teacher worked for the allies during WWII as a "lip reading" spy. Yeah, she went behind enemy lines and, via binoculars, would watch the Nazi commanders talk and write it all down. Man, all that stuff just came rushing back...

[@VinylRewind]

+Robs OnBass Funny how that happens, very cool story, thank you for sharing. Sounds like those were fun times. I wish my school had a AV room like yours.

[@1UNCOOLMIKE]

I must have heard this album thousands of times. My Father was huge into drum corp(think marching band). We would drive around listening to drum corp 8 tracks. Herb Alpert was one of the few commercial artist we would listen to. We had this on 8 track & vinyl. It's still great, I have it on my Iphone, & still listen to it.

[@VinylRewind]

Oh wow, I use to be concert band and a marching band. Played based drum and later trumpet. I can't imagine listening to that in the car. Thanks for watching!

[@aldiakaroofus]

I got familiar with several tracks many decades ago when I was handed a stack of records with selected tracks to be put on cassette for a relative. It's a damn good lounge album! My favorite element is the heavy drumming moments in Whipped Cream! I still learned a bit from your video. I gotta look up more info about the Wrecking Crew!

[@VinylRewind]

Ah, you're totally right, I love that drum too! thanks for watching!

[@ironj679]

Thanks for the episode! As always great production, great work and great information! I do love the cover and well, some of Herb and his music. Seriously, it made my day watching this. Great job!

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you! It means a lot to me to read your comment. Thanks for watching

[@Colldan09]

Good review. Herb Alpert was very popular at that time 1965 and beyond.

[@VinylRewind]

Thank you!

[@athenassigil5820]

Your channel is simply amazing, you should have more subs! Anyways, keep the retro feels coming!

[@VinylRewind]

thank you

[@JCDemoModels]

Bought it for a quarter in minty shape! Great album!

[@VinylRewind]

lucky! Thanks for watching

[@VirginSuicide77]

I got this on a tape as a child! I still love it!

[@VinylRewind]

+VirginSuicide77 that's awesome

[@VirginSuicide77]

+Vinyl Rewind yes, a child of the 80's and all. Some of Herb's later 60's albums like "Warm" and "Summertime" steered away from the "Ameriachi" sound.

[@VinylRewind]

+VirginSuicide77 Funny enough I haven't ventured into his later work. I just love his over the top ameriachi
