UP CHERRY STREET / I CAN’T GO ON LIVING, BABY, WITHOUT YOU / PROMISES, PROMISES / I MIGHT FRIGHTEN HER AWAY / ALONE AGAIN NATURALLY – These were all previously released on Herb’s YOU SMILE-THE SONG BEGINS album with the Phase 2 TJB. These were all recorded in late 1973 and these new remixes are only slightly different.
LAZY DAY – How Herb recorded Nick Ceroli and Pat Senatore changed after the BEAT OF THE BRASS album. So I’d put this somewhere in the sessions for WARM or THE BRASS ARE COMIN’.
THE WAILING OF THE WILLOW – Harry Nilsson’s version of this was released in 1968, so my guess is this was left off of THE BEAT OF THE BRASS.
FIRE AND RAIN – I think this actually came out in late 1973 as the flipside of “Last Tango In Paris.”
AND I LOVE HER – With the prominent Fender electric 12-string from Pisano, my best guess is that this is from the SRO or SOUNDS LIKE sessions.
CLOSE TO YOU – The liner notes state that this was probably bound for WARM.
HAPPY HOUR – From the sounds of the band, this is from the SRO or SOUNDS LIKE sessions.
JULIUS AND ME – Sounds like it’s from THE BRASS ARE COMIN’ due to the drum sound.
TENNESSEE WALTZ – Again, this has to be after 1968. But listen close and whoever is playing drums is using a bigger drum set than Nick Ceroli. My guess is that this is from the sessions for SUMMERTIME and Hal Blaine is playing his usual big drum set that he kept tuned very low. This is not Ceroli’s drum sound, unless this is from the first reunion sessions (late 1973).
TRADEWINDS – This sounds like a leftover from CONEY ISLAND.
RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN’ ON MY HEAD – This sounds like it could be a SUMMERTIME leftover.
FLOWERS ON THE WALL - The Statler’s version was from 1965 and this version has the prominent trombone and some mandolin, just like many of the songs from the WHAT NOW MY LOVE album.
POPCORN – This one’s probably from CONEY ISLAND or the sessions just after that gave us the WHISTLESTAR single.
CHRIS – This could possibly from WARM, THE BRASS ARE COMIN’ or maybe SUMMERTIME.
KILLING ME SOFTLY – Could be anywhere from 1969 to 1974. I just can’t tell.
I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN – This is like the previous two. We’ve got the conga player again on this track. However, the strings on this sound like the strings on THE BRASS ARE COMIN’, so that’s my best guess.
SPEAKEASY – The peppy beat sounds like many songs from the BEAT OF THE BRASS album.
WHISTLESTAR – This actually came out in late 1975, after CONEY ISLAND, but before JUST YOU AND ME. Apparently, a TJB follow up to CONEY ISLAND was planned, but the TJB reunion just wasn’t working out and Herb went on to his new solo career
