The four recent titles are much better.So I'm assuming these newer vinyl are better made than those first couple of runs of WC last year?
I got that beat!
Oh yeah. It had been promised for release-day Friday but it arrived Monday. The first bunch of 5 or so were packed in a bubble envelope that was folded to fit in my mailbox. Only one cover was a little crunched near the spine. The second - and larger package - came in a box with the big fat bubble plastic all around it.
Didn't you see my disc spines all lined up?
"VERY IMPRESSIVE" now all you need is JYAM on cd And you are set.Kinda took your idea and went wild with it. I decided to just photograph the spines of my entire Herb Alpert CD collection.

Just looking through that stack...there are a few I've never owned. Colors, Midnight Sun, Jump Street, and North on South St. I had Wild Romance and Keep Your Eye On Me only on LP and never really played them all that much, although KYEOM is growing on me lately. I like the jazz/pop balance that Herb is striking with his more recent releases.
Sadly I have to agree with both of you but Like you i have my CDR Copies handy too ( i made several from my clean vinyl copy) and i made a printed image of the Lp front cover for the jewel cases to give them some visual integrity. Its the next best thing. And i did that for most of my needledrops.I agree with Steve: Not likely to happen. Therefore, I keep my CDR copy handy in case I want to play a few tracks.
Just for the record, Jump Street is a CD single featuring the album version from North On South St., plus the six-minute long "Brighton Daze Extended Remix" featuring Yvonne de la Vega.
The "North On South St." single (not the album, mind you... but the single) was the only Herb Alpert recording that I actually got rid of. Yep. It was that bad.
With Rise, I had the 12" single first, which had the album version of the tune on one side, and "Aranjuez" without the "hoops-and-hollers" on the flip side.

Actually, the 12" single was better than the original album track. One of the remixes has Herb doing a much longer solo that made it much ore enjoyable to listen to.
@badazz could probably verify, but I think as originally written, "Rise" was a faster tempo, but someone (Herb?) decided it sounded good at a slower tempo, as more of a late-night chill-out dance track. Regardless, it worked.Funny you mention that. I was in the Air Force at the time and it was in late spring of '79 when a guy in my squad came home from leave in Baltimore and he told me that he was in a disco club and heard a dance song by Herb Alpert. I almost belted him, saying that Herb wouldn't do disco. About a week later I saw the 12" single of "Rise" and thought to myself "Oh no". Fortunately, it wasn't disco although "Aranjuez" was.
I need to check if I have that one--I thought I had a "Jump Street" 12" but maybe it was the "N on S St" single. Whatever it was, it's a promo copy and I still see those in the bins every so often.Actually, the 12" single was better than the original album track.

Actually I had a cassette single. Never saw the CD single. And I wasn't going to keep a cassette tape of something that sounded that horrible. It's been years, so I can't say what the other mix title was. I do remember the remix sounding somewhat more tolerable than the album track, but it still didn't grab me.A CD single takes up so little room, I would keep it for completeness sake, even if it's not your cup of tea.
Is that the "Massive Sound 12" mix?
