Lonely Bull

Digitally re-mastered edition includes the stereo and mono mixes of the album plus four additional tracks. During the '60 's, Herb Alpert created some of the most popular instrumental music of all time with his group the Tijuana Brass. His style blended catchy tunes, and a lively easy-Jazz brassiness, over a Mexican mariachi backdrop. This quintessential release contains Alpert's magnificent debut album for his A&M label, the Lonely Bull (1962). with it's cinematic mix of dramatic brass fanfares, crowd noise, chorus, twangy guitar, and mandolins, the song 'The Lonely Bull' became a hit, while introducing the world to the unique personal sound of Herb Alpert. The whole album was originally issued in both mono and stereo versions, and has been re-mastered here in this very special collector's edition, which features the classic LP in both formats. We have also included four bonus tracks, consisting of hard-to-find sides from Herb's first steps as a vocalist, under the alter-ego Dore Alpert.
