Herb Alpert is about to release his latest studio album, Human Nature, on September 30, and it looks to be an exciting set even by the high standards of the eternally youthful trumpeter. His fourth album in three years, Human Nature features five original songs plus reworkings of Steve Porcaro and John Bettis’ “Human Nature” (the 1983 Michael Jackson hit), Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “Alfie” and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” and a world premiere composition from Bacharach and Elvis Costello, “Look Up Again.” But before that, Alpert is taking his deepest-ever dive into his back catalogue with a reissue program featuring 25 titles, many of which are long out-of-print or have never previously been released on compact disc! All albums are due from the Herb Alpert Presents label on September 9.

This remarkable campaign spanning albums released between 1962 and 2011 features most of Alpert’s classic Tijuana Brass and solo albums (including the seminal Whipped Cream and Other Delights, which kicked off the program last November), many of which weren’t addressed in the last Alpert reissue series from Shout! Factory. All will be reissued in newly-remastered editionsfrom the original analog master tapes. Each album is packaged in a replica of the original artwork (with no new liner notes or other elements), and five titles in the series (including the already-available Whipped Cream) will also be issued on 180-gram vinyl. Note that while Christmas Albumis not included in the below list, it too was reissued last year.

Gotta say, I'm a little disappointed at the lack of bonus tracks. The mixes from Keep Your Eyes On Me are essential to any music collection!

The movie A Taste Of Honey, that introduced the actress Rita Tushingham to the world, is out on the Criterion collection this week. A classic British New Wave movie for lovers of 60s pop culture. It's in my Netflix list. Enjoy!
