ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...FINALLY!

"Like other reviewers here, I've been waiting a long time for these remasters...having grown up in the 60's these albums were about the only thing I had in common with my parents (music-wise, anyway)... I'd read everything I could about the other musicians on the album covers, so I am just a bit disappointed that in his updated liner notes Herb Alpert gives almost no recognition to The TJB; in fact, at one point, he tries to pass them off as an ever-shifting lineup when almost every original cover shows the same recognizable faces...these guys deserve their due and it's sad that even now they're relegated to being faceless session players...Sorry, Herb, but what are these guys doing today? Anyway, the music's great"
It's about time!

"After hearing with great excitment the re-mastered CD's, I was hoping they would released SRO. This is a really great CD and sounds fantastic. It is a very good collection of songs and a very strong finish with 'Flamingo'. Very amazing to hear this and I hope they release ALL the TJB library!! Can't wait for "Sounds Like...""
Nostalgia without the LP defects

"S.R.O. exemplifies why I purchased every Tijuana LP and still have the complete collection. Though I still love the music, listening to half the songs then flipping LP sides and the deterioration of sound quality meant with less and less frequency. Now, these CDs are played every night as we go to sleep just as we used listen to a stack of records in our first apartment."
