This is the batch I'm probably the most jazzed about (well except maybe LOST TREASURES) since it contains so much never-before-on-CD material. "Love So Fine" and "Town Without Pity" are particularly high on my can't-wait list. Along with the remastered "Monday Monday" from BOTB.
And, I sure hope those are the disks that come with some little insert about .....whatever...... is coming next.

I believe The Christmas Album is slated for an October release, and the remix project is due sometime after that. But here's what is on the Shout! Factory website for the next batch:
HERB ALPERT AND SHOUT! FACTORY REVISIT 1967
WITH A TRIO OF REISSUES
SOUNDS LIKE -- HERB ALPERT'S NINTH -- BEAT OF THE BRASS
Third Set Of CDs From The Herb Alpert Signature Series In Stores August 16th
LOS ANGELES, CA – Shout! Factory rides the next wave of reissues from the Herb Alpert Signature Series with a set of three hit albums from the late 1960s, all due in stores August 16th. Alpert’s distinctive Ameriachi compositions shaped Sounds Like, Herb Alpert’s Ninth, and Beat of the Brass which each attained Gold status by the end of the decade. This trio of albums is the latest to be released via the Herb Alpert Signature Series, launched earlier this year to re-release a line of the most popular albums by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.
In May of 1967, Alpert released the first of his two albums that would dominate the pop charts that year. Finally breaking the Monkee’s 31-week stint at #1, Sounds Like spent one week at the top of the Billboard album charts before Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band took over the world. Sounds Like became a testament of Alpert’s enduring popularity; his mariachi compositions held their own alongside the biggest pop and rock phenomena of the decade.
At the close of 1967, Alpert issued Herb Alpert’s Ninth, revealing his sense of humor as well as artistic depth by incorporating new musical elements into the Tijuana Brass’ trademark sound. With dramatic string sections and his reworking of “Carmen,” the album playfully moves back and forth between creative brilliance and outright fun. His cover of The Beatles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends” and the Dozier-Holland penned “The Happening” are lively and exuberant romps.
Beat of the Brass followed just four months later. The lavishly packaged counterpart to Herb’s recent television special (of the same name) was marked by the #1 single, “This Guy’s In Love With You,” written by Burt Bacharach and surprisingly sung by Herb himself. The remainder of the album is filled with Alpert’s take on time-honored favorites including “Thanks For The Memory” and “Talk To The Animals,” which helped propel it to the top of the charts.
Alpert went on to sell over 75 million albums, win seven Grammy® Awards, and built the legendary A&M Records (home to Sheryl Crow, Sting, Janet Jackson and The Carpenters). In total, Alpert has released over 30 albums, fourteen certified platinum, fifteen gold, and five #1 hit singles. Earlier this year, he partnered with Shout! Factory to create The Herb Alpert Signature Series, dedicated to remastering and reissuing the iconic recordings he made with the Tijuana Brass. Thus far, the series has released The Lonely Bull, South of the Border, Whipped Cream & Other Delights and Lost Treasures, a compilation of rare and previously unreleased songs. Going Places, SRO and What Now My Love will be reissued on June 7th.

I also noticed that "Spanish Flea" is no longer played at the home page of Shout! They have the History of the Dodgers instead. Maybe they'll change it to "Casino Royale" or "Slick" in a few weeks.

Well, Herb Alpert's 9th comes out on the 16th - but I guess it would be easier if it came out on the 9th.

...hoping that it's just the heat doing this online...
I got all 3 latest TJB reissues at the Disc Exchange West, Kingston Pike, Knoxville TN for $11.99 per disc (marked down from $13.99).
The discount is for a limited time, as SOTB & LB are back up to $13.99 and LT $16.99 as usual.
Gotta grab 'em while they're hot.

We're selling'em for $10.88! 
I bought TLB from Collector's Choice because I expected to have trouble finding these discs in local stores. But when I noticed that a local CD Warehouse franchise was stocking them, I bought the next three from them (at full price) because I wanted to make sure that they sold. I was told at the time that all the titles were selling well and they had reordered each title of couple of times. But when I went in this week to get one of the new ones, I was disappointed to find out they didn't have them. So I asked the multi-pierced kid in the Alien Sex Fiend (retro!) t-shirt behind the counter about them and was surprised when he said, "our distributor messed up and we only got 'S.R.O' and it sold the same day it came in". I was impressed that he was able to relate a TJB title without looking it up so I've decided to stick with them and let them special order them for me.
