Wow Harry...that's awesome!!
It's so great to see these things coming out, seeing the light of day, isn't it? I mean, back when I worked in the record store (in the early '80s when CDs were in their infancy), it seemed the TJB's came a dime-a-dozen. What a fool I was!!
I guess it's true what they say about things coming full circle. In this case, the TJB catalogue. Glad to see 'em back!!
Thanks for the scan, Harry!!

A few more odds and ends that could be considered for a second "Lost" CD would include some of the unique mono mixes, particularly "Tijuana Taxi" and "Zorba The Greek".
There's also the non-English versions of "This Guy's In Love With You", which I know were recorded by Herb in both Spanish and Italian.

Well, glad those "unreleased" songs are finally coming out of the vault and being put on CD...! Might be fun to change the order I'll play 'em in...! 
Does anyone know if they will be All-Instrumental or will Herb do some singing, as he did on "This Guy's..." or maybe done in Vocalese like stuff from the Warm album...?
Nice cover, too! Yeah...Herb looks a little "lost", there...doesn't he...? :goofygrin:
Oh, and "Wailing Of The Willow" was done by Liza Minnelli on her Come Saturday Morning album, too...

In thinking of "Julius & Me," I recall the many times I've wondered why Herb never recorded "Fowl Play" or "Summer Samba" -- two songs (IMHO) that would have been well-suited to the TJB sound.

While I think the Spanky/Our Gang "Lazy Day" is the most likely choice, there's also a track by that name on the Moody Blues album ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM with a very nice melody.
"Chris" I'm assuming is the same tune featured on Pisano & Ruff UNDER THE BLANKET.

I'm hoping Popcorn is the Gershon Kingsley song made popular by Hot Butter instead of the song of the same name done by Walter Wanderley & Luiz Henrique. It will be interesting to hear either way. I made myself a homemade TJB compilation cd a few years ago where I used the same photo for the tray liner of my cd that is being used for the Lost Treasures cover. I then used the photo from The Happening picture sleeve for the cover of my cd because he's wearing the same white suit and seemed to go well with the other photo. Maybe that photo will be used on the back of Lost Treasures.

I doubt this will happen, but it could be cool to have one of these "Lost Treasures" released as a single. Lord knows the radio format could use something fresh these days.

That may not be a far-fetched idea. I seem to recall about how someone through Steve Hoffman's forum was looking for clean mono copies of a couple of TJB albums, which had many of us thinking about reissues of those. We know "Mexican Drummer Man" was NOT a favorite tune of Herb's, so maybe he's holding back on some tunes. Randy Alpert told me there were about 6 or 7 Sol Lake tunes, plus John Pisano said he had "a few" of his songs that were recorded but not released. It's pretty obvious that not all - if any - of the Lake & Pisano stuff is not on this new collection. So theoretically, there could be enough for another volume of rarities. Theoretically.

I can see FLOWERS ON THE WALL getting theTJB treatment...it really wouldn't be a whole lot different than MEXICAN DRUMMER MAN when you think about it...I can hear a great marimba or vibe interplay with the trumpet and bone, especially on the chorus. BTW, there was a vibe intro to the orignal Statler Brothers recording...and the vibes that were used are still at RCA's Studio B where it was recorded[and I've played 'em...along with the piano Elvis used on his records...]. The way the tempo varies, almost stopping in a couple of places, it might be similar to A TASTE OF HONEY, as well...maybe it has the same feel as MONDAY MONDAY...it'll be interesting to hear Herb's take on it...
The TJB did LET IT BE ME, so why not TENNESSEE WALTZ ? The BMB did DEAR HEART, and Herb was involved in the arranging, so it isn't too much of a stretch...remember, in the early days, Herb was trying to find a niche for the TJB sound...and western swing carries a lot of mariachi elements with it in a lot of instances. It might not sound a lot different than EL LOBO or even TIJUANA SAUERKRAUT...both were in3/4 time, as I remember...
I agree that neither of these tunes fit the traditional TJB mold, but at first glance, neither would LEMON TREE or I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO HER FACE, and these two were standouts on their respective albums.
I can't wait for this album...it'll be like going back 40 years in time...A BRAND NEW TJB album...that's in effect what it really is...

Besides "Mexican Drummer Man", "El Bimbo", "Music To Watch...", and the two foreign language versions of "This Guy..." other missing items include "Somewhere", "Neverland", "Desert Dance", "Whistle While You Work" and "California Girls" all of whihc were part of their live shows (or on their way to becoming tracks on a third 70s era TJB LP).

apprehensive that the inclusion of 5ive YS-TSB tracks on Lost Treasures means no YS-TSB or Coney Island reissues...

I think we'll see both You Smile and Coney Island eventually. After all, both "Last Tango In Paris" and "Fox Hunt" were charted singles, and "Save The Sunlight" and "Coney Island" made a splash on the EZ chart.

I hope that Music To Watch Girls By eventually shows up somewhere. I saw them play it live in 1969, and couldn't figure out why they had never covered it before on a recording.
IMO, it sounded better and more natural for the TJB sound and style than a few other songs they covered here and there...

"Chris" was also from Pisano & Ruff, no?

Amazon now has large scans of the three albums to be reissued on February 8th.
