Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

Lost Treasures

previously unreleased recordings, from instrumental pop genius and A&M co-founder, now available from High Coin

The first album by the original Tijuana Brass line-up 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.
