It's 1965 and you're at a record store.

If you are like most of us back then, there is only one album you just have to see. And it's not the Beatles or the Stones, it's Herb Alpert.

I can still remember when the cover of that album was considered "risque".

I saw this on another site and it brought back memories. Just thought it might do the same for some of you.

I still have the album packed away with the turntable. Haven't had it out in years.

I was not even a thought in my mom and dad's head yet!!! I would have to say that it is a rather racy album cover for 1965...
 
LOL! Was it the music or the cover that got to you pubesent pervs?!?
H.A. and the Tijuana Brass. I remember Spanish Flea was the music for the Newlywed Game, I think. And Lonely Bull was used in some western too. And I loved This Guy's In Love, but I do not remember any of the album covers.
Plus, it was more the music my mother listened to. Us kids didn't think it was cool at the time.

I mail ordered the album when it was first announced. (lived in a very small town). I didn't know what the album cover looked like until I got it. That was a surprise, glad Mom and Dad didn't see it.

My older brother had the album and I wanted to have fun and pose like the woman in the picture when I was a child. btw, it was shaving cream and not whipped cream. Somewhere online one can see what she looks like now but I don't want to spoil my illusion.

In 1965, I was two years old.
 
I remember that album and mine is somewhere on the shelf with all the other hundreds of albums we have. Yep, for 1965 it was kind of racy.
 
wow, thanks for the memory, jim!

my dad had that album. i was only a baby at the time, but every once in a while it would make it through the roatation and be put at the front of the album rack when i was a little older, in the '70's.

the first santana album with the tiger woman was another good one.
 
I wasn't even born yet, but dad has bunches of these records and listened to them all the time so I familiar with the songs.
I still have a bunch of records and a working record player. I have a complete set of Glenn Miller, Three Dog Night, Dolly Parton, the Pink Panther, and a record of the NASA Columbia launch with music and dialog from the astronauts. Oh and the California Raisins and the Beach Boys.
 
I was 15 in 1965 and remember the cover like it was yesterday. Yes, I was a pubescent perv like all my buds at the time. I could tell you stories...
 
HA I have that along with the rest of my dad's records... never forget coming across it digging through his records when I was little... LOL

1965 ...

I was 7, and I remember the cover, staring at it in the record department at I think Sears, and 'thinking things', but I think it may have been a little later than 1965 .....

OTOH if it was around '65, and I was thinking things about that album cover it would explain a few things about me.

Thinking about it, I DID get caught playing doctor with two of the neighborhood girls in '66. Naked Doctor, too!!

LMAO!!!!
 
we were young married people in 65, my husband loved "his brass" i enjoyed it as well. i don't remember any fall out over the cover. course this is calif. lol
 
In '65 it would have been the Beetles, Stones, Hermit and the Hermits, The Righteous Brothers, Elvis Presley, Sonny and Cher, Petula Clark, The Beach Boys, Roger Miller, Four Tops, Gary Lewis and the Playboys just to name a few I listened to regularly. In 1971 learned to love country music after spending a day and night in Luckenbach, Texas with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Edgar and Johnathan Winters and Lennard Skinners Band. Needless to say after parting with these guys for a day Country Music ruled. It was strictly a chance meeting that lead to a great weekend for me, my wife and 6 other couples that wondered on to Luckenbach.
 
Oh my gosh - I expect the rest of you to start treating Babe and me like the exalted and wise elders that we are...I was also a young married in 1965 - 21 years old! Yes, that makes me a proud 65 years old. Practice Husband Number One and I had that album. I think he made off with it (as well as his restored 1957 Thunderbird) 12 years later when we got divorced. Rats.
 
I'm at the Yokohama Navy Exchange record department (upstairs, next to the shoe department) and I just bought The Ventures On Stage album for $1.69.

Close numbers. Married at 22, lasted 12 years, 65 this coming May -- spooky. Oh yeah, the ex has most of the old pix. Really spooky.

I got married February 5th 1964 just 17 to Dawn who was just 16 then. Oh and we are still together since after all I've done to her she wouldn't trust me to talk. We had our first child in 65 followed buy 1 a year for the next 5 years, one of which was a miss carriage. Hence 4 kids in 5 years, who would of know I married Miss Xerox.
 
Oh and Jim I actually still have that album as well as the first Santana album that also came out a year later. I have 6 of the Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums, great music for some moments if you get my drift. My favorite score music was Boot Randolf's "Strangers on the Shore".
 
I love all that music, too, Joe. Actually, we get to hear alot of real mariachi music here, and it's apparent where Herb Alpert got his inspiration for the Tijuana Brass - a good mariachi band has that same kind of dissonance among the trumpets. Sounds wonderful.
