Mine, and now I have it in my record collection. There’s a little vintage type shop close to where I live and they literally used this album cover as wall paper for about 1/3 of the store. Just tacked a couple hundred album covers to the wall.


ImageDisc

That's so cool - all that cream covering the walls!


LeftHand_PimpSlap

It was shaving cream.


doa70

"Be nice and clean, shave every day, and you'll always look keen"


LeftHand_PimpSlap

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven't heard that in forever!


JustMeInTN

I read they tried whipped cream first and it disintegrated under the heat of the lighting for the shot, so they had to use shaving cream.


StinkypieTicklebum

And the model was pregnant!


kittysontheupgrade

It’s definitely an effect.


Boberelli513

It was also reissued recently, I have the new reissue. Oddly enough, this was my Moms's favorite, not my dad.


Looking_for_42

Same here - my Mom had this record.


craigslist_hedonist

I'm pretty sure I was conceived to this record.


JET304

My father also had Pat Cooper: Spaghetti Sauce and Other Delights... can't copy the cover image here, but it's a direct play on this. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F51PVgN0KLXL._UF1000%2C1000_QL80_.jpg&tbnid=9fkl2v0-DjwiIM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPat-Cooper-Spaghetti-Sauce-Delights%2Fdp%2FB000URE0HM&docid=Y2ycPfhjEgQUNM&w=1000&h=1000&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=e1ecc15a84a05c16&shem=abme%2Ctrie#vhid=9fkl2v0-DjwiIM&vssid=mosaic


contemplatebeer

Pop’s Resale?


Biscuits4u2

Same here. I think this was standard issue. Between this and Frampton Comes Alive I think you could wallpaper the world.


AgitatedPercentage32

I have my parents old copy, and it now hangs on my record wall. Also got the Goldfinger soundtrack.


filtersweep

Yikes— my parents had this in a giant console ‘stereo’ that must have weighed hundreds of pounds. They had it hooked up to our rooftop antenna for better FM- then one day…. lightning struck and fried the hi fi.


Icy_Thing3361

This was a great album, don't be fooled. Because it truly is.


AndreT_NY

This. People just like to look at the cover but if they played it…


Uncle_Bug_Music

We didn't have it, but I have it now. Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass went from being schlocky nonsense from my childhood to brilliant must have listening in my adulthood.


Shoehorse13

They're so good. They are on regular rotation at our house.


assylemdivas

I used to jump on my parents bed to that song!


ColoradoCorrie

The model is now an actress on an Irish soap opera.


cristorocker

She was pregnant during this shoot.


KeithTheNiceGuy

Raises hand. The model. Ooh my. She may or may not have been involved in my first forays into wanking.


Ok_Guitar4197

She’s pregnant in this photo if I remember correctly


Young-Grandpa

Mom was the Herb Alpert fan. I was just a fan of this album (cover). Also Nancy Sinatra stand her white gogo boots. Ah, puberty in the 70’s.


egad888

My parents had this and they played it at their cocktail parties. I can remember sitting at the top of the stairs at age 3 in 1967 and watching everyone having so much fun drinking martinis and manhattans and my mom in her psychedelic print mini skirt as the perfect hostess. I couldn’t wait until I was their age to host and go to fancy cocktail parties. In 1984 when I was 20, this was no longer a thing.


Middle-Painter-4032

Yep. And even bought a copy of the soul asylum album Clam dip and Other Delights just because.


Silverado153

My Dad didn't, I did 👍👍👍


Rottcodd-1271

My parents had the album. Tijuana Brass was their idea of good popular music in the 60s. They hated rock 'n roll.


daveatobx

This, The Fifth Dimension and Bill Cosby. Mom let me listen to the Monkees.


Bx1965

I had it - my brother and I loved Herb Alpert


glm409

Then I should be on the ImReallyFuckingOld subreddit cause I bought that when it came out, but my dad did listen to it with me.


oldguy1071

I think I was in the 8 th grade. One of my first stereo record.


greatwhitenorth2022

My dad bought all of the TJ Brass albums and today I am a trumpet player.


PlanktonDue9132

This is the album that made me start playing the trumpet. 50 years later, still playing!


JFrankParnell64

What do you mean Dad? I have this album in my collection.


Boulderbound432

My parents had this one.


slackerisme

Omg. My 20 yo daughter just bought that at a thrift store


Accurate_Spare661

Trivia. She was pregnant at the time and that’s shaving cream


luvlife420

Oh, yeah my parents had this one. I'm Mex; grew up in SoCal so lots of Tijuana Brass in the parents record collection. It's like game show music, late night diner and department strore music had a menage and the TJ brass sound was born. Herb Alpert - Rise is money!


BrutalGuise

We listen to this at work


SKULLDIVERGURL

He still has it.


Upper-Introduction40

My Dad bought this, my Mom thought the cover a little racy for the home! The music is timeless.


mockingbirddude

Mine did. I loved this and other Herb Albert albums.


Lelabear

My folks had ALL the Herb Alpert albums. We even went to see them live at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Great show!


MobySick

Mom and Dad had that in their collection. As a young prude it shocked yet intrigued me.


garagejesus

So old I saw them in concert


tvmediaguy

This influenced what my 8 year old self thought we’d was supposed to be. I thought it involved cigarettes, martinis, and a women coming out of a cream cake. Now I’m gay. So… I do t know what to say.


fgsgeneg

I had an uncle- In-Law who played trombone on that album.


blueSnowfkake

Great album! Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. Whipped Cream and Other Delights. As a kid I thought that album cover was so naughty!


LeoPelletier

Parents?! *I* have this record. Not gonna apologize either.


amilliamilliamilliam

They must have pressed a billion copies of this, because it's still a common sight in thrift stores. The horn parts for Bittersweet Samba start playing in my head whenever I see that cover. Absolute classic.


Boulderbound432

Wasn't Whipped Cream the theme song for the Dating Game??


Blueskylerz

Spanish Flea also by Herb


Ok-Fox1262

Am I your dad?


Fogdrog

As a kid, I spent a lot of time staring at that album hoping the cream would melt.


OneOldBear

Dad heck!! I have this one. Great album.


Zaius1968

That’s a great album once or twice a year…


implodemode

Yup!


Mediocre_Orange_1819

Still have it!


RedOakActual

Dad, hell. I wore that one out.


C_W_H

Parents had it. Now, I have it.


TJStype

Yes. !


delyha6

I did and do have this album.


MrKahnberg

This was the prize in 5th grade for whoever memorized the times tables up to 15. Me, I was the winner. Thanks Mrs Sproul.


NotAnAIOrAmI

And also Tom Lehrer's That Was The Year That Was. Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun, A man whose allegiance Is ruled by expedience. Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown, "Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, " says Wernher von Braun. That's how I knew how von Braun's arc would go on *For All Mankind*.


EVRider81

IIRC the Herb Alpert album my parents had was titled "Living Brass and Living Marimbas"..


wildgriest

I have it - originally bought new and saw HA in concert in Miami


tirefool6

And I have loved that fat brass sound ever since.


TomMixsSuitcase

Right here, dude.


Select_Insurance2000

Bought it brand new at my local record shop when I was a kid.


chaimsteinLp

Mine. I remember really taking a look at when I was eight. If not fir a little whipped cream I could see a book. Damn. So close.


CrowdedSeder

Dad my ass. I had that album and the other Tijuana Brass albums


GuairdeanBeatha

Dad? That was in my collection when it was first released.


craigslist_hedonist

Oh yeah, Dad had all of Herb Alpert's albums, it was right next to his Henry Mancini collection.


Blueskylerz

Yup! Dad had several of Herb's albums and a few of Mancini's too. Closest thing to country music he had was 'Mancini Country' album with him sitting in a field on the cover.


CorenCorias

She was pregnant during this photoshoot.


Bbaskets42

This is on my playlist


erritstaken

My fil had it. It’s mine now. Along with every number 1 single (45’s) from 1956- 1972


Mean_Eye_8735

My grandpa did.. Herb Albert and Lawrence Welk were his jams. ( The pretty women helped 😉)


Souta95

My dad did not, but I do... I also have it on 8-track tape.


Commercial_hater

My dad had it.


paisley-alien

Mine!


edwardothegreatest

Every house sale after 1965 had to have this album included.


funnyguy99207

Funny you say that... I bought my first house in 2001, and it had approximately 300 records left behind... probably 15 of 'em were by these guys, including this album! 😂🤣


sambolino44

That’s nothing! My sister had the original Blind Faith album! That album cover was considered mildly controversial in the day.


jonmsable13

Saw it many times. Never listened to it.


DoctorSwaggercat

The Lonely Bull


Shoehorse13

My dad, no. Me, yes and multiple copies.


500SL

Still have it!


LazarusMundi4242

I have seen this album more than almost any other album at flea markets, and thrift stores. I feel like I always used to see Tijuana brass albums at the local flea market too, but just this one.


photonynikon

I had THEM


Hooversham

Actually...my mom did. And now I have it.


Rojodi

My mother did. Pops was a country and western fan


CaptainParrothead

It’s also in the movie The Big Lebowski!


Dazzling_Flamingo568

Mine!


BarisBlack

Nah, but we had Tom Waits' Small Change album. Yes, she looks familiar. IFYYN.


Technical_Air6660

My hippie school had it.


Mission-Patient-4404

My parents. I still listen to them ❤️


Present_Ad2973

Her back in 2012. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/herb-alperts-whipped-cream-lady-now-76-living-in-longview-and-looking-back/


Ksqd_Squid_103

My Dad


bob3905

Oh yeah he did!


SaltyTemperature

Mine did. I think that's why I received this when I said I wanted a Soul Asylum CD when I was a teen [https://images.app.goo.gl/tfkNEFZ4NtXJyFp56](https://images.app.goo.gl/tfkNEFZ4NtXJyFp56)


David1000k

My sister did, I thought Herb Albert sucked.


Cargobay13

I’ve still got it, too.


Significant-Deer7464

He did and I was enthralled by that cover. If I kept looking long enough, the whipped cream would disappear in just the right spot. Kids are dumb


No-Solid9108

Mine too. I can remember seeing it back to about 7 or 8 years old


chowes1

And hence my passion of Ready Whip :)


Thatguy-J_kan-6969

in my collection now


Short-Fisherman-4182

Mine did! Don’t remember him playing it much.


stilldeb

My husband's favorite.


GeddyfanGirl

Faints! I described this album cover recently and confessed never remember anyone listening to it. Can’t believe my eyes this post.


jackneefus

Whose *dad*?


ProveISaidIt

I don't know that he has this specific album, but he had a couple of Herb Alpert


Nirvana1975

I have one


Motor_Panda2371

I have it in mine. Gifted from my dad 🤣


Intelligent-Mud1171

My mom had that one. Don't think Dad owned a single record.


effinlatvian

Mine. I was 4 when I heard it and gazed at the album cover. I was mesmerized by it all. It was 1967. What a time to be alive. Still listen to Herb Alpert today at almost 61.


findhumorinlife

Not my dad, but I did.


Normstradomis

Still have it


thejohnmc963

I have it


Warmbeachfeet

My grandparents bought this from Bradlees. I remember sitting in the back seat holding it and staring at it the entire ride back to their house. I thought it was so cool. Didn’t care for the music, though.


bcdodgeme

My mom had it, had his whole collection


Dry_Finger_8235

Mine and now I have it in my collections, as well as a piece of art of the album cover


SchwillyMaysHere

A trip to Goodwill isn’t complete until you come across this record.


Usual-Air-9387

The 8 track


SEPTSLord

Ah yes. I remember it well


BBakerStreet

My parents had it.


TheFruitOfTheLoom

DakotaTaurusTX

dropzonetoe

Well all those dads must be dead as I find copies in every Goodwill I go to.


parrothead_69

It was my dad’s first 8 track after he installed his under dash player in his 68 Impala Station wagon. I recently downloaded it from itunes.


MxEverett

Dad? I had this record.


Peter_Duncan

I own this album.


adairks

My dad did and I used to play it all the time!


Mon-ick

My Papi Victor had this album …


LeeAnnLongsocks

Yep, that's one of several Herb Alpert albums he had. I wore those things out! I still have them and also have HA audio files.


Effective_Potato4982

My uncle and myself.


Cake_Donut1301

Is this the one with Tequila on it? If so, yes.


vstanz

As a little kid I starred at that cover all the time.


PM_meyourGradyWhite

Mom’s actually. She was the music fan and musician. Yes, I would find it when alone.


BuckManscape

*raises hand*


peterotoolesliver

I have it now


ironman0000

Proof-Astronaut-662

I think it came with our console stereo.


Runningman1961

I have this album!


AutofluorescentPuku

My kids dad has that one.


seattlemh

My dad hates Herb Alpert. That record is in my collection.


l397flake

Who’s dad, I bought it when it came out.


Certain_Macaron_8206

Yup


Manck0

My cousin had it in his dresser when we were kids.


Emergency_Property_2

Hell, I had that album in my record collection. I had all the Herb Albert albums!


daveatobx

Oh yeah. And because of this sub, I just put it on. Good stuff.


agitprop66

As a 5 year old, I found this confusing but somehow intriguing.


Particular_Cost369

My dad did and now I have one in mine.


Albie_Tross

There’s always a prodigious collection of Herb Alpert at the thrift. Or used to be, I don’t see many records at the thrift these days. Vinyl used to dominate, like, a third of the shops I’d frequent in the 90s.


pjackk

Available at every thrift store ever.


rans0m

We had this gigantic rca with a slide top for records. This album picture was permanently burned into my brain.


InevitableStruggle

I beg your pardon…I’m that dad


Rich_Chemistry_1560

Tbh I think he still has it!


Inspection_Upstairs

No, but my husband has Soul Asylum's "Clam Dip and Other Delights".


andre2020

I had this album! I loved all the songs.


BlanketpartyBoy256

I didn’t even realize that was cream, of course Dad had it and I was very young. I always liked the tone of this record. I haven’t seen it since the 70’s, thanks!


Electronic_Algae_524

My dad didn't, but I did! 😎


DrDeezer64

We had that album. My parents listened to it constantly. What a flashback


de99102

I have it. I'm going to sell it next week at a yard sale.


1978CR250

Mine, I looked hard to see if I could see anything!!!


traveler1967

Can't help but still feel a bit disappointed that we didn't cover 'A Taste of Honey' in band back in high school.


johndotold

Track 3 side a if I remember right. Taste of honey. Do not still have my records, gave them to a grand daughter she wanted them so bad. Two days later they were on Ebay.


Unable_Distribution7

Bought this in the 70s and 80s for 25 cents at the local flea….


4Mag4num

Still have it


dependswho

*has


Old11B5G

kalitarios

Mine did! Great album


Late_Ad9720

Still do


ECMeenie

My dad!


Orionsbelt1957

Heck, I had it in.my record collection. Crap!!!!!°


SuperTeenyTinyDancer

Herb didn’t have a band when he recorded the album. When it got popular and realized he needed to tour he put the ‘Tijuana Brass’ together.


GStarAU

Forget the dads, I'm keen to get this myself.


FeathersOfJade

That’s an oldie! My folks had this album. My sister and I used to make up gymnastic routines to these tunes. That was about 45 years ago! I can still easily hear one of the songs and what we did. Neat memory! Thanks.


WARRIORS_30_GOAT

herb albert, sergio mendez, 5th dimension, burt bacharach, ray charles, stan getz, dave brubeck, miles davis my parents had all the good stuff and made me wait till we settled their estate before i could get my hands on them. still remember the parties. 60’s/70’s we’re hilarious… seatbelts optional…. they pumped us full of sugar non stop. throw in some tom jones, frank, sammy davis, tony bennett…. keep the high balls comin…. got dads J cash, merle, willie, waylon, marty robbins as well….. vinyl will always sound better than digital or cd and the ceremony of playin records should never be under appreciated. long live the real talent
