Hit: 5 Stars
"Whipped Cream & Other Delights" is another great Tijuana Brass reissue from Shout Factory, and thanks to superior remastering it's even more aurally sumptuous as it was back in 1965.
Way back then when I first heard this food concept album (a programmatic idea attributed to Jerry Moss, Herb Alpert's partner in A & M Records), it seemed unusually interesting to me because of the two inherent moods presented: a serious and brooding one, with tunes played often in minor keys; and a happy, upbeat, and celebratory one. But the track order always bothered me a bit. The first five songs make for a very strong opener to what was originally side 1 of the LP, but then the seriousness is completely dismissed by the very catchy yet completely frivilous title track. `Side 2' opens with the sexy strip number "Love Potion #9" (the only non-food track, again in minor key), and then the focus shifts completely back to fun with two ethnic tracks, a simple ballad, and two shuffles, one with an improvised Dixieland bridge. Shout Factory's bonus of two additional unused tracks further complicates things. Don't misunderstand me- it is so nice to have these new TJB tracks- but as they are obviously remakes and more contemporarily produced with richer sonics (including non-1960's instrumentation like synthesized strings and Fender Rhodes electric piano), the new tracks soften that classic `65 TJB sound and make for a quieter disc ending than the original powerful close of "Lollipops And Roses".
If you have the ability to shuffle the tracks, I would encourage you to listen to the disc with the following adjustments: switch "Love Potion" with "Whipped Cream", then insert the extra tracks ("Rosemary" and "Blueberry Park") in between "Whipped Cream" and "El Garbanzo"). The first six songs will become the 'serious' half, and the last eight songs will become the 'fun' half, with the two new tunes in a spot where they won't kiill the ending of the program.
This album and its follow up, "Going Places!!", would flip-flop on the top of the charts for many weeks. "GP" has a slight edge as far as perfection goes- yet "Whipped Cream" is completely engaging on its own merits, and one can hear the progressive, stylistic strides Alpert has made from the earlier TJB albums. Of all the memorable moments, my favorite is "Tangerine" with its unusually melodic bass line, Spanish classical guitar riffs, deep congas and Phil Spector-like reverb, while Alpert plays smokily in the background and hums unobtrusively along with the piano solo. It surely qualifies as one of the best ever recorded versions of this Johnny Mercer song. Alpert's trumpet is front and center throughout the disc, clear and spectacular as always. The newly added tracks are enjoyable and also help extend the length of the disc to 35 minutes, which is a tad longer than a typical TJB offering. There are great liner notes from both Herb and scholar Josh Kun, although Kun's remarks seem repetitive throughout the first issues of Shout Factory's Signature Series. Here's hoping he's got new things to say in future booklets. Lastly, there's an eye-appealing bonus: a small 40th anniversary collectible poster of the original cover featuring model Dolores Erickson draped in cotton and shaving (rather than whipping) cream.

This special 40th Anniversary edition features two studio bonus tracks along with a 20-page booklet and a collector's poster.
