There have been various stories about how the Carpenters tape got to Herb. On one interview he says that somebody handed it to him saying “Psst….wanna hear a tape?”

True. I just recently read one that had Jack Daugherty and John Pisano as associates/friends, and Daugherty handed the tape to Pisano who handed it to Herb.There have been various stories about how the Carpenters tape got to Herb.

Agreed.After seeing Part I, I would give it a B-. John Scheinfeld's "HERB ALPERT IS" documentary is exponentially superior - the clips, the graphics, the soundtrack and the general flow are all exceptional. Part I displayed a pretty shabby looking WHIPPED CREAM album cover and dwelled on a LONELY BULL album THAT WASN'T EVEN AN AUTHORIZED A&M RELEASE!!!
That's almost inexcusable. Someone doing a documentary, or a biography for that matter, should be familiar enough with the subject to not make such a rookie mistake. Walk into any record store or heck, look on Amazon or Discogs, and the correct cover is easy to find. It's not like it would harm the documentary, but it's an overlooked detail that could have been avoided with the bare minimum amount of effort......... and dwelled on a LONELY BULL album THAT WASN'T EVEN AN AUTHORIZED A&M RELEASE!!!
Phonier than a 4 dollar bill
As long as you're not in Canada. Silly Canadians!Phonier than a 4 dollar bill
Was it used to buy this?The US once had a four-dollar coin, known as the "Stella".

Yeah...that happens around here, doesn't it?Oh my goodness I Started a new discussion and didn't know it.
Yeah, it's really STELLAr.One of my favorite beers! Discovered it over seas and was thrilled when it landed on US shores (though the US version is slightly lacking in both flavor and alcohol from the overseas version).

I agree. If this were available in my own library, it would be the last documentary I'd choose. The good parts were really few and far between.Watching Part II was pretty much a waste of an hour and not sure that my B- grade holds for the entire program. As I stated previously, Herb's DOC (and even the years earlier BBC4 Doc) outshine this by miles!
