Ok, guys: Someone recently asked me this question, and my answer is apparently debatable. Now this, mind you, is something [admittedly trivial] which has been bugging me for 20 years. Ever since I read on the liner notes of Herb's 1996 album "Second Wind" that it was his 33rd album, I've been wondering what "album" I'm not counting. Because by my count, Second Wind was his 32nd album, not 33rd. And recently I remember reading somewhere that my count was off somewhere else. So it's got me wondering...
I know it's tedious, but here goes the count, titles and release dates (compilations don't count as they are not albums of newly released material):

2. Volume 2 (1963)
3. South Of The Border (1964)
4. Whipped Cream & Other Delights (early 1965)
5. !! Going Places!! (late 1965)
6. What Now My Love (early 1966)
7. S.R.O. (late 1966)
8. Sounds Like... (early 1967)
