Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass - S.R.O. - 1966

The sound is starting to get stale. Album #7 still reached #2on the AC chart, so apparently the fans were still there. Certainly no classics on here as with previous efforts, but The Work Song was still a strong single at #2 and is indeed one I can whistle along to.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Andy Williams - Get Together With - 1969
![[Image: 1679828fd7a0c2ea1471f010.L._SL500_AA240_.jpg]](http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/9c/36/1679828fd7a0c2ea1471f010.L._SL500_AA240_.jpg)
Let's face it. Andy Williams is good for 2 songs. The classics Moon River and Born Free. Sadly neither of those are on here. A mixture of old standards on side 1 passed the test, doing what he does best, movie themes. On side 2 he attempts to tackle some more current pop hits of the day, amd meets with total failure. For the most part the song selections was fine. Just not for Andy. I guess this was an effort to expand his audience, but I can't believe it was successful. But hey, what do I know? This was his 14th gold album, reaching #27 on the charts. I did like his tv show where many top artists of the day made an appearance, and he did bring us the Osmond Brothers who appear on some tracks here (#6, #11) doing backup vocals.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Good Morning Starshine
Best Track - A Time For Us (Love Theme from Romeo & Juliet)
A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
For you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me
A world of shining hope for you and me

Rising from the folk/rock underground in NYC to challenge the British invasion, these guys racked up the hits during that era. When founder John Sebastian left the group in 1968, after this album, they attempted to carry on, but only 1 more album would surface. This is their 5th and includes some good stuff to me. There were no big hits, with She Is Still A Mystery reaching #27 and the album only peaking at #118.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Priscilla Millionaira
Best Track - Younger Generation
Why must every generation think their folks are square
And no matter where their heads are they know mom's ain't there
Cause I swore when I was small that I'd remember when
I knew what's wrong with them that I was smaller than
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby's due
And I know he'll have a question or two
Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom
It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs"
And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation
And then I'll know that all I've learned my kid assumes
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
And still I'll try to them him all the things I've done
Relating to what he can do when he becomes a man
And still he'll stick his fingers in the fan
And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend's only three
She's got her own videophone and she's taking L.S.D.
And now that we're best friends she wants to give a bit to me
But what's the matter Daddy, how come you're turning green?
Can it be that you can't live up to your dreams?"

Second release in the U.K. and made it here as a U.S. release only 45 years later. Still sounds fresh. I never was crazy about Beatles covers, but there are a couple of exceptions on here. With seven originals and six covers this would be down there on my ranking of Beatles albums and I still love it. That should say something.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - I Wanna Be Your Man
Best Track - All My Loving
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you;
Remember I'll always be true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home ev'ry day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.
I'll pretend That I'm kissing
the lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home ev'ry day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.
All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I'll be true.
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you:
Remember I'll always be true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home ev'ry day,
And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving darling I'll be True.
All my loving All my loving ooh
All my loving I will send to you

Boredom was one of my favourite tracks and I DO have to agree about :puke:Priscilla Millionaira which was, quite frankly, a piece of absolute crap!
