Agreed. It was like finding a long-lost TJB album.To someone like me who's been following the band since the 60's, Lost Treasures was like going home again.
Harry, what about Mexican Drummer Man?f I were compiling a new version of LOST TREASURES, I'd eliminate all of the YOU SMILE tracks (there are five of them - and YOU SMILE is back in print). I'd leave in "Fire And Rain" and "Whistlestar" since both of those were non-album singles and tougher to find. Yeah, I know 'Fire And Rain' appeared on a UK LP compilation, but again, tough to find these days.
Then I'd add in the two bonus tracks that were on the Shout! WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS disc, since those two have fallen by the wayside in the newest reissues.
I agree No Herb Alpert Collection should be without this i still have my copy i bought upon its first release and I still enjoy hearing it todayEither way I'm glad to see it coming out again; I always considered it quite a shame to be out of print.
I'm guessing that the Shout version booklet will NOT be included, though it probably should be. These re-releases are supposed to be replications of the original albums, and the first and original LOST TREASURES had a booklet.As is, except for necessary logo & graphics changes.
(Yeah, containing one of those highly informative Josh Kun essays where he writes for the umpteenth time about how Herb wasn't trying to create a latin sound...)and the first and original LOST TREASURES had a booklet
Interesting. Had no idea he was part of these tunes. Manha de Carnival is a good tune. And I’d love to hear him fully cover Ian Tyson’s Four Strong Winds.Harry, what about Mexican Drummer Man?
This got me thinking: A unique Herb comp would regard all the non-TJB songs to which he lent his distinctive trumpet. I know of these:
I'm sure there are others -- particularly prior to WC&OD (mid-65)
- Claudine -- Manha De Carnaval ('67)
- Waylon -- Rave On; Love Denied; Four Strong Winds; ('64)
If Universal still possesses those masters, of course. Given the notorious fire, I’d have doubts.Yeah, well, we'd all like to see "Mexican Drummer Man" too, but I wasn't digging to find stuff that wasn't out before, just the stuff that was deemed release-worthy for that first Shout compilation.
As for Herb appearances on others' recordings, that's a total other animal as LOST TREASURES is supposed to focus on the TjB. There are many one-off Herb appearances, but Herb doesn't own those masters like he does his own stuff. All of those Herb solos on the old A&M Records albums belong to Universal now and he'd have to license them back - depending on how many even still exist after the big conflagration.
The earliest example is probably "The French Song" on Lucille Starr's album.
Cool Corner feature idea - scans of the Shout! booklets (or maybe just the liner notes text itself) with the graphics and credits of each album. Of course it's probably all copyrighted by Shout! but I doubt they'd raise an issue with it, since the versions on their label are now out of print.
Yeah, it's probably a copyright nightmare. But it would be nice to read those again. Mine are all back in storage.
