[edit] Tijuana Brass

Shouldn't the Tijuana Brass have its own article? -24.149.203.34 (talk) 18:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In the original article

In the original article, Alpert was listed as having co-authored "Only Sixteen." Since he had nothing to do with writing that song, I have removed that reference. Rich 21:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The "Whipped Cream" Album Cover

I'd like to see the image of the 'Whipped Cream' cover placed back in the article. By far, it is Tijuana Brass's most famous image, and the article refers to it. I feel it is more important than a second image of Alpert.

I could not agree more. That cover was quite significant at the time (to both the public and Alpert's career). I can't imagine why it was removed......

I'm old enough to remember it (my mom had the album). I guess that helps. :-)

[edit] Herb Alpert Guinness Record Broken by Led Zeppelin in 1975 ? ?

In the Section titled "The Tijuana Brass Years", it states:

"That same year, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized that Alpert set a new record by placing five albums simultaneously on the Billboard Pop Album Chart, an accomplishment that has never been repeated."

But, in the main entry for Led Zeppelin, in the Section titled "Physical Graffiti", is states:

"Shortly after the release of Physical Graffiti, all previous Led Zeppelin albums simultaneously re-entered the top-200 album chart."

That would then be a total of "6" Led Zeppelin albums on the Top-200 Album charts in 1975.

So doesn't this mean that Herb Alpert's accomplisment was not only repeated, but superceded by Led Zeppelin in 1975??

Surpassed, not superSeded - not the same. Common slip. Nobody loves an English smartass. Notreallydavid 08:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

While the word that was chosen may not have been correct, surpassed/superceded, it was spelled correctly.

I love a large number of English smartasses. I have no use for hicks with arrogant ignorance.

The feat accomplished by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass was having five (5) albums in Billboard's Top Twenty simultaneously. Steve Sidoruk - A&M Fan Network

[edit] Bond

we need info on him in casino royal Kiran90 06:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Information

The biography needs to be expanded.

There is mention of a song for his first wife. However, there is no mention of any wife in the article.

The article is in both the Hungarian-American and Russian-American category but there is no justification for either in the article.

JimCubb 06:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the lady in the EP cover for 'What Now My Love?' and one or two Lp covers Herb's first wife?
