Whipped Cream & Other Delights is a 1965 studio album by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, called "Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass" for this album, released on A&M Records. It is the band's fourth full album and arguably their most popular release. This album saw the band nearly abandoning its Mexican-themed music, featuring mostly instrumental arrangements of popular songs, and also generating some major pop hits for the first time since "The Lonely Bull". One "tradition" of the early Brass was to include a number rendered in "strip-tease" fashion, and this album's entry for that style was "Love Potion No. 9". Whipped Cream & Other Delights sold over 6 million copies in the United States and the album cover alone is considered a classic pop culture icon. It featured model Dolores Erickson[8] wearing chiffon and shaving cream. The picture was taken at a time when Erickson was three months pregnant.[9] The album cover was so popular with Alpert fans that, during concerts, when about to play the song "Whipped Cream," Alpert would jokingly tell the audience, "Sorry, we can't play the album cover for you!"
Yess Ladyfingers will always be banger 5
Actually have an old LP version of this to pull off the stacks. A bit of a cultural artifact but you know, all good fun.
8/10. Yummy
Very fun album. Plain and simple brass-music, made to make you dance
Easy listening that is ubiquitous in all Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift store record sections. You don't see this one quite as often because it is treasured for its cover. I was ready to pan this, but in listening to it, I can't deny its charms. Recorded with some of the finest members of the Wrecking Crew.
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Green peppers, Bittersweet samba, Whipped cream, Ladyfingers, Peanuts
Waffled between a 2 and 3 on this one, as while it’s well-executed and generally pleasing it lacked a certain wow factor and left me disappointed as to why some record stores have entire walls tiled with copies of this LP. Going with a 3 here by thinking about this in its historical context – not a big band expert, but I’m sure this was a relative hell of a listen when it first dropped.
Good music, inviting you to rest and relax to enjoy it. However, it cannot avoid the retro style, from its album cover to its jazz music. Short and compact in its intentions, made to measure for the music of TV series and movies. A taste of honey is its best track. 3 1/2 stars because it gives me everything that a music album can give without songs.
Pretty nice but sort of average at the same time. I do like the album cover. 3 stars.
Like the music to the Carry on films!
Lounge and/or 60's movie soundtrack music...
Not one but two songs that have been completely separated from its origin. We got ladyfingers the most nostalgic/romanticized tik tok sound and whipped cream which I’ve heard a million times but never really thought of too much. Overall not bad.
This is kinda fun. Chick on the cover is possibly dead of old age by now, but was obviously a total babe. According to wikipedia the cover has become a pop icon, but I had no idea. I can see why, though. That shit is HOT. Catchy music, too. Zero substance, but catchy. Reminds me of Green Onions a bit. Same sorta 3/5.
There’s not much about this album that stood out to be upon listening, but a good reason for that is how ubiquitous this sound became. It’s well executed jazz/easy listening that has some very fine moments,
Racy album cover alert! I guess this whipped cream gown was the more demure precursor to Ali Larter’s whipped cream bikini. What a fun jazzy album to go along with it!
Sexy LP cover. Smooth melodic trumpet and tight arrangements. Very “easy listening” and a bit bland. Certainly we’ll conceived and executed and if it’s time. Not of this time, however!
