Availability

As Herb Alpert has recorded for more than four decades, keeping track of what is in print, and what is not, is one of our most important functions here at TijuanaBrass.com. Our Herb Alpert/TJB Store lists most of the known music and video releases available for purchase through Amazon, and is updated as new items are found. We also maintain a list of these items in the Alpert/TJB area of our A&M Corner Forum, and also try to indicate the current released versions of these recordings in our discographies. To assist you in finding these recordings, we are enclosing our availability list here as well.

One important note: our list includes only genuine, legal, label-released of these albums. We have been notified of several items available through online services such as eBay that are not legitimate. Keep in mind that Herb Alpert owns and controls all of his masters, and that if the recording is not listed here, it is a pirated or bootlegged item.

Here is our list of officially available Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass titles for sale at Amazon. All links are clickable, and your purchases help support A&M Corner. Note: Out of print recordings are sometimes available from Amazon Marketplace sellers, and are suffixed [OOP] below. Other out of print recordings or non-available recordings are noted below.

All of the linked items below are also available from the TJB Store, categorized for your convenience.

These are the Tijuana Brass albums, in chronological order. The original album CDs in print are available in the Herb Alpert Signature Series on the Shout!Factory label. Compilations are listed in a separate section below.
