Lost Treasures

Amazon.com
The debut entry in a 2005 series that sees the reissue, repackaging and remastering of the entire Herb Alpert/Tijuana Brass catalog, Lost Treasures collects 22 tracks that were either never released or available on obscure, unsuccessful albums. Compiled by Alpert who contributes fascinating liner notes and overdubbed a few horn parts that hadn’t been preserved through the decades, this is not only a labor of love, but a remarkably cohesive hour-long listening experience. It is also far from a haphazard collection of throwaway material. All of these tunes are finished and would have comfortably slotted on one of Alpert's dozen or so 1960s releases. Modified versions of standards such as "Tennessee Waltz" and often radically rearranged pop hits of the day from James Taylor, The Beatles and Gilbert O'Sullivan comprise the majority of the disc. Alpert also plunges into the fertile Bacharach/David songbook that yielded a number one hit with "This Guy's in Love With You." The aborted followup single of "Close to You" that appears here, was handed over to the Carpenters. Throughout, the Brass' sunny, south of the border jazz-pop retains its innocent, upbeat, bright-eyed appeal. The lack of specific personnel or recording dates doesn't detract from this surprisingly successful collection of "leftovers" that ultimately stacks up as one of Alpert’s most diverse and enjoyable albums. --Hal Horowitz

Product Description
22 Previously Unreleased and Rare Recordings That Are Just as Good as the Hits!

The first album by the original Tijuana Brass lineup in 30 years, Lost Treasures compiles previously unreleased tracks and hard-to-find rarities, hand-picked by Alpert himself. Herb Alpert was so prolific in the ’60s that tons of great songs got left behind in the vaults. Many are interpretations of songs by pop music’s greatest writers, including James Taylor’s "Fire and Rain" and The Beatles’ "And I Love Her." Other standouts include Cat Stevens’ "Whistlestar," written specifically for Alpert, and Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s "(They Long To Be) Close To You," which, after recording it himself, he felt was better suited to a new A&M act called The Carpenters. This song, like the other 21 gems here, has been newly mixed and mastered.

Each album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.

Not the Best Herb Alpert.......2006-06-14

If you can't get enough of the "brass", you'll probably want this album to complete your collection. If you want to hear some wonderful new TJB material, this is probably not it. Some songs are perfect for trumpret/brass treatment and succeed well. Others should have never been attempted. Close to You is horrible and it should have been buried forever after the Carpenters wonderful version. Most of the songs here are mildly interesting. To Alpert's credit, he tried a lot of different material, some of which was very difficult to do on trumpet. The best of it made it made it to his released albums (the Third Man Theme, for example, is simply amazing). Nothing outstanding or amazing like that on this album. These items were left behind for good reason; they just weren't as good as his other material that was released before. That doesn't mean this is a terrible album. It is enjoyable listening and there are serveral quite good songs on the album, but many of the songs just aren't that well done. Why did Alpert even record some of these? Good ones: Up Cherry Street; Flowers on the Wall and Whistlestar. Bad ones: Close to You, Tennessee Waltz, Popcorn. Most of the others are mediocre. If you never heard Alpert before, this album is like a appetizer, with most of his other albums being the main course and Whipped Cream and Other Delights being the dessert. Keep in mind that Alpert on a bad day was better than most on their best days. If this had been his first album ever released, I think the reviews might have said something like: "not bad; nice beginning effort; shows potential". Buy all the other Alpert albums first and if you still want more, then buy this one.

Lost Treasures review.......2006-02-28

Another amazing album from Herb Alpert. A myiad of tunes included, some I was familiar with, but the majority new to me.
I used to play trumpet many years ago, and now after hearing these new compilations, I'm getting that itchy feeling to pick it up again. I just can't stop whistling the tunes.

What Was Herb Thinking????.......2006-02-04

I just received this CD along with "What Now My Love" and "The Beat of the Brass". I have all the rest of the re-release series except "The Lonely Bull" (I never owned the vinyl), but I will get it soon to complete my childhood (er, I mean the set).

So....I listen to "The Beat of the Brass", then I pop this CD in to listen for the first time and WOW! But not a good "wow". The bass about blew me out of my chair! I looked to see who mixed this and found that Herb would give mixing a shot. Sure, maybe he mixed some stuff for the original recordings, but hey Herb, nothing works as good at 70 as it did at 30.

Most all the other reviewers have commented on the music itself, and I found most of it enjoyable, but my main beef is the mix. I think it stinks! If you listen to the originals (even the remix), the "support" band is properly placed in the background. In this recording, they are "out front". Heavy bass, heavy drums. I could feel the percussion on my head and on one song, I was sure I was "inside" the guitar.

I strongly disagree with another reviewer that these tracks should have been released as "bonus" tracks on the other CD's. No way. The mix is totally different and it wouldn't "fit".

So would I buy this again? Do you think I'm crazy? Of course I would!

Now. Where is "Warm" and "The Brass are Coming"? Let's get with it Shout.

'Lost Treasures' a Goldmine of Rare Gems.......2006-02-01

Not sure why I am writing a review, since so many people have already given this 'new' release from the classic Tijuana Brass period such a gracious welcome. But like an additional trumpet harmony to the chorus, let me add, it is not only a thing of beauty, but enough songs to represent a DOUBLE album, and one that would easily rank among the very best of the entire catalog!

With that said, why did these tracks fail to find release back in the day? Herb asks the same question in his liner notes and really couldn't recall! Only that he was shocked to find so MANY lost treasures that he had forgotten existed or were even recorded. In any case, it was a lucky stroke of genius to overlook them the first time around so that we could enjoy such a beautiful set of numbers alongside all the re-releases of this golden era of heart-warming classic TB albums.

In addition to hearing Alpert's own sung version of "(They Long to Be) Close To You", which was originally to be a Tijuana Brass release before deciding to hand it over to The Carpenters to record for their own A&M release(!!!...the rest is history), this album closes with a gorgeous and unique production of cat stevens' "Whistlestar" which would be worth the entire cost of the album all by itself. It's a stunner.

Treasure?.......2006-01-16

This was the first disc released in the big remastering project of 2005 for the Herb Alpert and the Shout Factory's catalog. A really nice business move Herbster!

"Lost Treasures" has twenty two previously unreleasd tracks or should I say leftovers, as I hear 'em. I found only a couple of these "Lost Treasures" tunes worth the purchase. I really think Herb should have dropped the "Lost Treasures" idea and placed these leftovers at the end of the each album from which they came. In other words, good ol' bonus tracks. The 2005 version of "Whipped cream and other delights" does have a couple bonus tracks, which don't appear here, but could have. The other studio albums could have used some of these "Lost Treasure" out-takes, but no.

Buyers beware, unless you're a Tijuana nut.

This is a collection of "rarities from the vaults of Del-Fi Records". Songs are in a variety of styles, some of which are hard to categorize. There are a lot of instrumentals and some songs with vocals. Some of the tracks are pretty peculiar, but they are all interesting. Give it a listen.

A good collection, but with a caveat.......2004-08-27

First of all, let me say that I enjoyed this CD a lot, and I'm glad to have it because I love anything that Doris Day sings. But it falls short of 5 stars for one reason.

Some CDs have a note about the fact that the sound is not perfect because of the exigencies of copying old 78s or other such media. This CD suffers from the problem to a much greater extent than most. To mention one, on "It Might as Well Be Spring" the surface noise is loud enough to be a serious problem. Now, I understand that there are problems in anything where you have to start with 50+ year old material, and if you want to hear these recordings (which have otherwise never been released) you have to put up with this. But it should be noted that the problem exists, and you should be warned.

Other than that, it's certainly a showpiece for that great Doris Day voice, accompanied by the Les Brown band that brought her into the public eye.

VARESE SCORES AGAIN !.......2004-01-06

As I have stated in other reveiws for AMAZON.com, Varese Sarabande is one of those rare companies that actually CARE about
the products they produce; and this BROWN/DAY offering shows this to great advantage. The digital remastering is awesome, except for the last track: The Lady From 29 Palms. This is from an early HIT PARADE show and Doris is not backed by Les on this cut but by Mark Warnow and the Hit Parade Orch. This must have been a wretched original, as even Varese couldn't clean it up.
This is the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding collection..
a real "find" for Brown-Day loyalists....

"American Pop Culture during its heyday ~ Day & Brown".......2003-12-15

Varese Sarabande Records presents "Lost Treasures", featuring Doris Day with the Les Brown Orchestra in the mid '40s, performing seventeen tunes (which many have never seen the light of day) with Day's high energy delivery. Much like Rosemary Clooney, Day's interpretation of a song is magicial ~ newly remastered with a richer and astonishingly sonic sound, that gives you the impression you're there!

Entire collection is a stand out with "WELCOME TO MY DREAM", "GOODNIGHT, WHEREVER YOU ARE", "TWO HEAVENS" and "INVITATION TO THE BLUES", warmer and expressive style that can melt your heart right on the spot ~ arrangements and texture of each tune brings back memories of the early times in American pop culture ~ so much love and affection went into this release and it pays off...gotta love it!

No, Chuck Norris didn't do it first.......2001-08-12

Which is to say, he wasn't the first actor to sing his own movie or TV series theme song. Nor was Eastwood--the first was "Ballad Of Thunder Road", sung by Robert Mitchum on this collection in an adequate if not very memorable baritone--at least he didn't have to speak half of it the way Norris did with his "Walker" theme. Basically, the song tells the story of the movie--you don't very often find a theme song that goes that far. In a way, it's a violation of one of Hitchcock's rules as stated to the audience in the theatrical trailer of Psycho; "Don't give away the ending--it's the only one we have". But the song does offer sort an Appalachian change of pace from the predominance of California car songs here.

EXCELLENT CD FOR CAR BUFFS!.......1999-11-06

This is a wonderful collection of songs! From Jan and Dean to Commander Cody and the Beach Boys, etc., it covers the era of auto music well. They hint of a second volume in the insert but I've yet to see one. Come on Car and Driver, let's have it! A very useful CD to get you in the mood for Cruise Nights and car shows!

Of great musical and historical interest--but never lost........2001-01-04

(Is it a fluke that Amazon.com has this, alone from all the other Jerome Kern CDs, under "Classical" rather than "Popular"? Nevertheless, this just supports what I say below.)

George Gershwin was quoted as saying that all of his early music for the theatre sounded like Jerome Kern's. In fact, it was Kern's "They Wouldn't Believe Me" from the 1914 "The Girl From Utah" that inspired Gershwin to write for the stage rather than for the concert hall. Now we have a collection of 24 songs composed by Kern before 1914 on the Centaur CD (CRC2371)--and be sure not to lose the chance to own a copy!

Concentrating on Kern's output from to 1906 to 1913, the producers have drawn upon the talents of soprano Anne Sciolla and pianist Brian Kovach to reproduce songs that are not exactly "lost" (if they were, how could they be recorded?) but certainly little known by lovers of this composer and of the Broadway historical scene in general. Shows known by readers of Kern biographies can now actually be heard: "Fascinating Flora," "The Rich Mr. Hoggenheimer," "Fluffy Ruffles," and so on.

Yes, most of these sound too much like most of the others: all ragtime and bounce with just a hint of the great tunes Kern would turn out after 1914, especially in his "Princess" shows with P.G. Wodehouse's lyrics and Guy Bolton's books. This is also the kind of material that Joan Morris and husband William Bolcom do so well on an Arabesque collection called "Silver Linings," and perhaps Ms. Sciolla does suffer a bit by comparison. For example, when she adopts a crooning delivery that befits the ragtime pieces, she sacrifices articulation to vocalization and one must strain now and then to understand all the words as one seldom does with Morris.

But these are quibbles when one can finally hear such Victor Herberty numbers like "I Want to Sing in Opera" and Scott Jopliny ones like "The Ragtime Restaurant." If anything, these will remind you of the English Musical Hall stuff with which singers like Gracie Fields made their names and fortunes; and so there is an incredible amount of historical interest as well as musical interest in this Centaur release.

This 3 cd set makes sense to get as a companion to the far superior "Arkology" set (the only Perry you need to get your collection off the ground), but for me, the collection lacked the power and ferocity of the aforementioned "Arkology."

Focusing much more on Perry's early, more straight forward recordings than on the mid-late 70's bombs that still have me reeling after almost 4 years of continuous listening, the tracks may be lost, but not nearly the treasues of "Arkology."

Don't get me wrong, there are wonderful tracks on this collection, and I quite enjoy the collection as a whole, but overall, I'll listen to this a lot less than "Arkology," and with the lack of great liner notes and track history, the collection as a whole suffers from under-production- perhaps the record company was too interested in making a fast buck, dangling the raw Wailers'tracks as bait, to take the time needed to release a more unified, more high quality collection.

Get "Arkology" and go from there. This collection is good, but not great.

Raw Bob Marley cuts, great grooves!.......2000-07-20

If you own the Arkology, which is Lee Perry's best work, you should own this one too. Discs 2 and 3 are reminiscient of the arkology (his early 70's recordings in the black ark), but disc 1 is a special treat with extremely raw and untreated, but pure Bob Marley tracks!

Uneven package, Heavenly grooves!.......2000-03-10

Not as consistent and even as Arkology, and the booklet lacks important info (years, musicians, vocalists) but "I MON JUST HERE FOR THE MUSIC!" And man, the music is here. The unreleased Marley tunes are worth it alone. Other gems are "Glory Glory," "Rainy Night in Portland" and "Earth A Go Wheel" among many others. If you've got Arkology and are jonesing for more killer Scratch cuts, buy this! The dubs are as fat as fat can be -- so greasy and swampy it almost makes you sick (in a good way...) Overall: sublime. Again, the order of songs doesn't always flow and I really wish the credits were more thorough and informative, but really, the skankin' grooves are here! SEEN!
