4 out of 5 stars South of the Border.......2007-02-13

After a slightly dissapointing album, Herb Alpert was back on the charts with this album. During the sessions for this album, the song Mexican Shuffle, was picked up and used for a tv gum commercial. This put Alpert's sound back on the map.
At this time, Lonely Bull was his only other hit, and people thought the sound of the Brass was over. Mexican Shuffle is featured on this album. It is the only hit here, but the rest of the album is very good. For the first time, Alpert demonstrates his knack for arranging, taking a completely left turn on Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic Girl From Ipanema, and The Beatles' All My Loving. Overall, the mexican feel is still evident in this album, perhaps the last album that would showcase this.
This is an enjoyable album from start to finish!

1 out of 5 stars [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] .......2006-04-07

This floors me. They have to remaster anything made prior to digital recording to put them on CD. Bottom line you can't improve the original master tapes or any degrading they sufferd. It's misleading advertisment. They convert analog to digital creating a 2nd generation copy.

2 out of 5 stars A musical marvel - technical disaster.......2006-03-05

I just want underscore the well-summarized review that Sixties Music "stereo fan" gave this release.

Musically, this is arguably Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass' finest material. If you haven't audtioned this music, I hope that you give it a go. I feel the highlights are "South Of The Border", "The Girl From Ipanema" [yes, there really is such a place], "Up Cherry Street", and "Mexican Shuffle" (which you may remember as 'Teaberry Shuffle', made popular by a 60's TV ad for chewing gum).

Technically, if sound quality is important to you, you're likely to be disappoined in this release. Not only does it suffer the lack of bass that I know should be there (based on my orignal release recordings), what bass is there is troubled by IM distortion. And, then there's the issue of "Mexican Shuffle" is in mono!

2 out of 5 stars Remastered??---From What??.......2006-01-25

If this CD is "remastered", it certainly was not from the 1st generation, multi-track session tapes. From listening to this CD, I can hear distortion and an audible amount of tape hiss, especially through the quiet passages of "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face". And after all these years, we STILL get "Mexican Shuffle" in MONO! Which leads me to believe that this, and other TJB CD's in Herb Alpert's Signature Series, were mastered to CD directly from the original mixdown album masters that were used to press the original A&M vinyl LP's back in the 1960s (a common practice that was routinly done by the record industry with past album masters during the dawn of the CD era 25 years ago, which magnified the imperfections of analog album masters on CD). In this day and age of today's advanced digital technology, a golden opportunity to digitally remix and remaster some of the greatest music of the '60s, was missed. I liked the idea made by a previous reviewer when he stated that remastering these CD's in both STEREO and MONO, just as Capitol did with The Beatles box set of the first four Beatles' Capitol albums, would have been nice. Maybe Universal, given time, would have done a much better job at remastering these early A&M classic albums. I say this because, in my opinion, I think the people at Universal are doing an outstanding job at remastering some of the Motown material (i.e. "The Motown Box"). Sorry Herb, but I think you missed the boat with this series.
