Spinning now, and it is rather good, Herb Alpert an extremely successful musician, don't knock it if you have not tried it.
"Alpert's musical accomplishments include five No. 1 albums and 28 albums total on the Billboard Album chart, nine Grammy Awards, fourteen platinum albums, and fifteen gold albums. Alpert has sold 72 million records worldwide.[1] Alpert is the only recording artist to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart as both a vocalist ("This Guy's in Love with You", 1968) and an instrumentalist ("Rise", 1979)." and "Alpert is also a recording industry executive, the "A" of A&M Records, a recording label he and business partner Jerry Moss founded and eventually sold to PolyGram" wikipedia
By the way this album (an early pressing this one) is excellently produced, with great separation and soundstage, a good test listening record IMO.
