I was a wee tot when this album came out BUT I remember my mother loved this music and I sure do remember the Album cover.
Dolores Erikson appeared on the cover of Herb Alpert’s ‘Whipped Cream And Other Delights’ LP in 1965. The former model Erikson is now 76.
That album was a birthday present from my girlfriend at the time in high school. i still have it.!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet you will spin it up on the turn table soon :) Thanks for commenting.
DeleteOr, like I did, I found it on youtube this morning.
We must be brothers seperated at birth. My mom had that "Record" too. And yes, I remember that album cover. Stared at it for days. Didn't know why I liked it (five years old then), but I did.
ReplyDeleteNow we know why! It's TAME compared to what's out there today :)
DeleteRemember it well. I have a digital version now though.
ReplyDeleteHi Monty, I played it streaming on youtube this morning.
DeleteYou're not so old. I owned it while in college.
ReplyDeleteDamn Woodster, you got years more experience that us youngsters!
DeleteI've got that record in my collection.
ReplyDeleteWe used to sit for hours and transfer my buddy's older brother's records to cassette so we could play them in the car!
DeleteI bought this album when it came out but don't have it anymore. Good music in those days,
ReplyDeleteMost of the music back then was way better than the crap today, I know I'm biased but that's ok.
DeleteStill sounds great for 50 year old music. I was eleven when it came out. Turned 61 today. That's one that I have in the collection which I started when I was 10 or 11 years old. Didn't buy it then because I couldn't really afford LPs yet. Spent all my cash on 45s. Still have over 4000 of them and I don't know how many hundreds of LPs. Probably over 2000 cds, too. Most of my favorites are still from the '60s. Mostly harder edged stuff like Animals, Stones, Kinks and the incomparable Yardbirds. Really also have a particular fondness for garage and underground, but Herb Alpert brings back fond memories..............................
ReplyDeleteBob, did you give that live video I posted of Riverside a listen?
DeleteThat was some great stuff. I must have forgotten to comment after I listened to it. Reminded me of a melding of early Pink Floyd, King Crimson and maybe Uriah Heep. If it would have been out back in the day (1970) I would have been playing it at one of our infamous field parties on an 8-track in the '65 Mustang. Cranking at full with the trunk open............................
DeleteCheck them out on youtube. You can listen to a few of their albums. They started as a Floyd cover band if I remember what I read correctly.
DeleteWill do. Thanks.......
DeleteDolores was quite a babe!
ReplyDeleteYes she was. Thanks for the linkage. I have been meaning to comment over at your site :)
DeleteHad that one in high-school.
ReplyDeleteYep, we're getting older!
Yes we are. Yes we are.
DeletePlease, please tell me it was NOT that long ago.....
ReplyDeleteSadly, time marches on......
DeleteWow, I had that album on 8 track...
ReplyDeleteI got it as a freshman in college. Still have it. I fell in lust with his wife, Lani Hall, who had such a sexy singing voice when she was with Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. I still have that one, too.
ReplyDeleteThat was the Fall semester, '67-'68. That winter semester, Jan - June 68, Blood, Sweat, and Tears (with David Clayton-Thomas) played in our _gymnasium_ at the State University College in Oneonta, NY :-) They were just getting started.
