In the 1960s, everybody's father owned a copy of Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream & Other Delights.
(Everybody's father except mine, for some reason. Inexplicable, given that he owned nearly every other Tijuana Brass album.)
No album better typifies...I'm not sure what. But one thing's for sure, when people walk into your place and see a hundred copies of this album, there's always a shock of recognition. Nearly everyone knows this album. Nearly everyone has a place in their heart for this album. And in the 1960s everyone bought this album, apparently. There must be a billion of these things floating around. You can scarcely walk into a thrift store without tripping over one.
Over the past 32 years the influence of Whipped Cream & Other Delights has been felt almost everywhere.
I took it upon myself to extend that influence.
