1971 2LP in gatefold. "This Is Benny Goodman" is a compilation album that showcases the influential work of Benny Goodman and His Orchestra, one of the most important swing bands of the 1930s and 1940s. The album gathers a selection of recordings from Goodman’s prolific period, highlighting his role as the "King of Swing" and his contributions to popularizing jazz among a mainstream audience.

Bullish
Used - LP - SP-5022
1984 Original with color inner sleeve. "Bullish" was an album from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass that marked a return to the group's signature sound after a hiatus and several ventures into solo projects. By this time, Alpert had already enjoyed massive success throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, both as a bandleader and as a co-founder of A&M Records. The "Bullish" album sought to blend the familiar, upbeat brass-driven style of earlier Tijuana Brass recordings with the contemporary production values and evolving musical landscape of the late 1970s, including subtle incorporations of disco and pop elements. The title track, "Bullish," showcased Alpert’s recognizable trumpet alongside a more polished, modern studio sheen. Though "Bullish" did not achieve the commercial heights of the band's earlier works like "Whipped Cream & Other Delights," it demonstrated Alpert’s willingness to adapt and experiment with the prevailing trends of the era. The album stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of The Tijuana Brass sound, even amid changing tastes in popular music. For longtime listeners, it offered a sense of nostalgia while also providing a glimpse of Alpert’s evolving artistry. Historically, "Bullish" is often regarded as one of the latter entries in the group’s discography, bridging the gap between their classic hits and Alpert’s ongoing solo endeavors. ...
