I love Herb Alpert, but the 'Whipped Cream and other delight' vinyl in thrift stores is a running jokes among specific vinyl collector.

I do love Herb Alpert self composed songs too like you smile, the song begins and fox hunt.

Read this article, and the comments for even more fun (the person who made the album cover even commented there!) https://dangerousminds.net/comments/every_crate_diggers_nigh...




From the cite: "everybody’s parents had the fucking thing"

I guess I'm slightly different. My dad had "Herb Alpert's 9th" and I loved that album. Of course, his copy was ruined by the time I inherited it, and I trolled store after store for years looking for it. Finally, I found a mint copy still in the shrink wrap in the back for a couple bucks.

I had my prize!

Of course, collecting these things isn't fun anymore because anything you want is just a click away.


I discovered Herb Alpert through YouTube recommendation this year when I was curating my Easy Listening Mix playlist [0], and damn it, Herb Alpert has all these slick songs! I used to listen to vaporwave in the past, I wonder why Herb Alpert isn't vaporwave material already.
