The band quickly became one of the most popular acts in the world, with hits like "The Lonely Bull," "A Taste of Honey," and "Whipped Cream."

In 1968, Alpert released his first solo album, Keep Your Eye on Me, which was a commercial and critical success. He has since released over 30 solo albums, and he has won nine Grammy Awards. In 1992, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.

The records have been lightly cleaned. Vinyl is all in sellable condition with little hiss or popping some surface wear - very very listenable items - they all lay flat no warps.  I'm not selling something I wouldn't tolerate, or have it come back to haunt me.  If there is something distinctly concerning about an album I declare it. Sometimes people want things for just album cover displa. 

Album covers may or will show wear - see pictures for s point out specific issues that I want to share

The album covers could have a vintage musk to them - where possible I do lightly wipe down the album covers.

IMPORTANT: Audiophiles and record resellers - saying this nicely - PLEASE SHOP ELSEWHERE - I'm not looking to get into any discussion, argument or refund over a single tic or click on the 7th track on side 2. I have no interest in comparing what you think the surface condition of the vinyl is. I'm not selling these as audiophile items, or for re-resale, these are being sold because they still play good and are enough to listen to listen to - which in almost ever case if going to be very satisfying. If won't tolerate it - I won't sell it unless for some reason it has some other value making it saleable.
