Listen closely during the breaks at 2:40 and 3:56, and you will hear a horn faintly in the background.
This is caused by "print through" of the original master tape from one layer to the other. It's like hearing the future just seconds before!
This could have been avoided by the original studio engineer had he NOT rewound the tape, and stored it "tails out".
However, the print through actually occurred, and then got transferred over to the master vinyl stamper, and then onto the vinyl, which you hear on the vinyl record. The CD's have had this minor problem edited out, so you don't hear it either on iTunes or on a CD. But it's here on the original vinyl record!

Man I miss the days when vinyl was state of the art, no cell phones, no pagers, and people actually spoke to each other face-to-face. And great music like this was abundant.
+Bob Dooley but just think the sun -dont shut off -lets use that power
Bob Dooley absolutely
ur not alone brother
Yes i agree its so sad that technology has practically taken over society today. I often wonder what happen to all the furniture type writers, etc? When i look at alot of these old shows from early 1970s , mary tyler moore, bob newhart, etc, wheres all the good stuff that was made so much better in those days, being born 1965 i have seen better quality of life and everything else 🌟
Bob Dooley I know it’s been 9 years since you commented but I hope you will reply to this vinyl has made a comeback it’s sold in stores like Target and Walmart Best Buy and Barnes & Noble
Watching my father sing this song to my mom in the kitchen as they danced, she in her apron, him in coveralls; PRICELESS!!
YOUR STORY BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES ........TEARS OF JOY WHEN LOVE RULED THE PLANET!!!!!!......THE GOVERNMENT FORCED MOST TO SELL OUT .....SELL OUT LOVE AND REPLACE IT WITH WORK.......WORK IS NOW THE NEW LOVE IN 2017 ........
I joined the Navy in 1968. I didn't really have a girlfriend at the time this song was popular, but I did have 'a thing' with and for a girl named Judith Ann Smith. I'll never forget her. You never forget 'your first' I was in boot camp at Great Lakes, Ill. and heard this song at the geedunk(snackbar) and all the memories of her and our time together came flooding back to me. I'll always think of her whenever I hear this song. I wonder where she is now.
hey, how are you?
I was n love with so many girls in HS between 64 and 68 I cant' count them all. All these years later many of still live in my memory.
The story goes that Herp Albert asked Burt Bacharach if he had any songs lying around which hadn't been recorded. Burt looked through his stuff, found the lyrics and score to this song and say "Here, Herb . . . you might like this one." What kind of person has a song this good just lying around? The answer is; a genius.
Was lucky my parents had this music to enjoy when I was young in the 70s.
This song is a masterpiece! Memories from the summer of 1968!
#1 for four weeks in July 1968-An undisputed classic!

Dionne wWrwick had 'This girl's in love with you' at the same time, both great classics and reminders of a simpler time. Hard to believe these were on the hit list almost 50 years ago!
I always have loved this. So what if Herb wasn't the greatest singer? His voice fits the small, intimate mood of the song.
I was about 7 or 8 years old and I remember hearing this on the radio. I thought it was so pretty. It's gorgeous.
Absolutely
Herb Alpert was the "A" in A&M Records.
Performed and cowritten by the cofounder of A&M Records, a legendary label that's still around today, under Universal Music Group. Herb Alpert is a musical treasure.
Chalres Kirkland I thought A&M Records went out of business in 1999
@@sherryhannah9262 no no, A&M is grouped together with Interscope Records and Geffen, UMG's flagship label. It's still very much active.
Herb Alpert is the only artist to have both a #1 hit as a singer, and as an instrumentalist!
I get goosebumps listening to this song!
At least I'm not the only one
I adore this song, one of my all time faves.
Got to know the song 10 minutes ago from the end score of "Seeking a friend for the end of the world" Has me moved to tears, shared it with my wife immediately
Many have performed this song but Herb Albert's version is my favorite.
Loved this song since it was released! Best Love Song Ever!
Brings back great memories of a wonderful time musically, now long gone to commercialistic garbage ................
The summer of 1968 was a crazy time.. but songs like this made it beautiful! My special memories of this are hearing it on the radio on a road trip in northern Mexico. AM stations from both sides of the border were playing this.
Herb Alpert was mostly known for instrumental hits, nice to hear this vocal again, especially in such wonderful ORIGINAL MONO quality - THANKS AGAIN for posting this.
Bacharach and David- pure class as always.
I love your 45 collection! Whoever you are, WABCRADIO77, you are the coolest! To think no music artist wanted to sing and release this song! To think they did not think it was worthwhile to record it. I love it! It brings back memories of when I was younger. Thank you for sharing your music collection!
A lot of people wanted to capitalize on it after the Tijuana Brass made it a hit!!
Absolutely love this song. Such a tear jerker and Herb Alpert is so good on this song. I read that he got this song because he got into the habit of asking songwriters if they had any songs laying around that no one has done and he went on to say that sometimes when he did that it would turn up a lost gem of a song and that is how he got this beautiful hit. Hooray for Herb Alpert!! Dionne Warwick did a cover of this as the girl's in love with you. She did a lot of Bacharach, David songs.
Herb wanted a song for his April 22, 1968 CBS special, "The Beat of the Brass". Burt gave him this one- and it was staged with scenes of Herb and his wife walking through a forest, along a lake, a meadow, and down a beach, hand in hand. The day after the special, people who saw it wanted a copy. A&M quickly pressed a 45 (in advance of "The Beat of the Brass" album).....and it was #1 that June.
Watching it snow in Akron Ohio..and listening to this.. it's new to me and I' enjoyed it very much.
the fact Herb isn't a singer gives this song genuine sincerity.
What a great record-on 45RPM,no less!!! And to think that Herb Alpert didn’t want to do it at first-he was (and still is at 80-plus years young at this posting!) an instrumentalist rather than a vocalist-makes it even more special!!! The story goes that his band-The Tijuana Brass-talked him into recording this as a singer-a lotta folks were(and still are!) glad he did just that!!!😎🤗🌟🥇🎼🎤🎺🎸🎹🎻👍👍👏❤️
Everyone the times sure have changed and though I'm getting older I wouldn't change the memories of this period in my life
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I remember this song coming on the radio when I was a little girl in the car and my father putting his arm around my mom---- pulling her closer to him and singing it to her---back in the days of cars with a front bench seat. I'd love to know what is on the flip side of this 45.
After some research...I found out it was a track from Herb's and TJB's first album The Lonely Bull...A Quiet Tear...interesting that it was an older (6 years old,) album track...
Nice to hear the song as I remember it from 1968! Good job WABCradio
Wow....such a great song.
A good songhit to cry over. Don't hold back.
Although he actually can't sing, the managed to made it sound so good on this one. Herb is superb here, no one can do this song better. The piano sounds very well on this vinyl.
Pete Jolly another A&M recording artist did the piano work! If you're not familiar with his music, do yourself a favor & search here on Y.T. ❤
# 1 for four weeks in June 1968-An all-time classic!
Of all the songs Burt and Hal wrote, it took Herb Alpert to make it their first no. 1 hit!
This was perfect for Herb Alpert to sing as he didn't have much of a range to his singing voice. Fortunately, he didn't need one for this tune.
As a kid mother would always play LPs for me, how'd I so enjoyed those many hours of music.
I'd noticed print through on records of this era ever since they were new, but I had always assumed that they were a byproduct of the stamping process, not mishandling of the master tape.
The Tijuana Brass. Now We’re Talking!😁 On TV they had a video of Herb Alpert singing this song to his first wife while walking her through a wheat field. A TV special. I remember watching it while on board the USS Holland (AS32) ported in Charleston SC. 1968. I hear his trumpet real softly just a couple seconds before each verse. If you listen really close with earphones you can hear it.
Love Burt's strings and his unusual piano part on the chorus....well done!
YES, WOW - I first heard that as a child of 10 from my brother's 45... I always thought is was strange back then, however I soon discovered the reason for the 'effect' once I started in audio - print through. I superb track from Herb (and Bacharach of cause!)
I have loved this song for a long time.
another timeless, beautiful classic xx
I adore this song .. gives me goose bumps., please find a way to let the family to but out..
why wouldn’t they agree with your decision to get rid of toxic situation..
Greatest love song ever made ! I was 14 when this came out.
...Sooooo nice
Just watched Seeking a friend for the end of the world with Steve Carrell and Keira Knightly...what a beautiful movie. this song was at the end of it and so fitting.
Posting 3-31-23. Happy 88th birthday to Herb Alpert. Burt Bacharach, who arranged this song, died recently. At 88, one can't have many birthdays left, but here's hoping all of Mr. Alpert's remaining ones are happy!
Thank you love this 🙏🎇💫✌❤🎈
In a large convertible on a warm night just driving.... Either alone or with someone special!! Priceless!! Thanks loads!!
Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss were, indeed, the co-founders of A&M Records...today, that company is absorbed into Interscope.
+Shane Spencer I miss A&M Records. I believe they owned I.R.S. Records in the 1980's.
Yes.
They brought back all of Herb's master recordings into Almo Sounds, which is now distributed by Warner Music
That was until the mid-1980s when MCA Records (now absorbed into Geffen, then Interscope) did the distribution, then Capitol/EMI took over distribution in the 1990s.
I understand that A & M was started in Herb's garage with $200. They sold it years later for several million dollars.
lovely,,,,thanks
Tremendous !, a hymn. I used to listen to this on AM radio at..erm..8 years-old ! Elegance, romance, intensity and sophistication like won't find today. Timeless.
Great looking Stanton and beautiful copy. I've been a fan of that brown A&M logo forever. Great video and music taste WABCRADIO77 !
BEAUTIFUL
This is a classic..just beautiful. sounds great...still
So beautiful .. woooow ! Thank you for this sharing !!!
You're absolutely right. Older brother Dylan was listening to it last at night and awoke his mother Norma with it.
Yes "print thru" I've heard that before I think some LPs have similar adjacent track crosstalk(?)
Definitely very good singet and romantic 😃😃
What a nice song. Nice, slow and mellow.
PURE ❤️💯%❤️👌🎧🔥
BRILIANTO.!!!!!
I have this 45 great song I also have Dionne Warwick's version This Girl's in Love with You on Scepter Records can y'all believe this year Herb'll be 80???????????!!!..wow huh????!!!....I have a lot of Herb's music he was a great musician huh????!!!!..he's alive but talking about him in the past tense
49jubilee I disagree... Rap did not destroy anything the Record Executives did ...I mean they are the ones who decide what we listen to. A lot of the crap we listen to is not decided by us ,but in fact the money they make off of the next generations willingness to put up with anything ...I like this music, my grandmother listened to this...This and Mancini's
Moon river ... it relaxes me
Herb just turned 89, & thankfully still with us! ❤
I had never heard of print through. I've heard it on several songs, and always thought that the needle was somehow picking up the "next" groove early. By the way, I hear a very faint print through on this record at the very beginning (well, a microsecond before the beginning).
and thanks for the great 45s
❤❤❤❤😊 HERB ALPERT GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ
I love the print through. somehow it adds something and I love the authenticity!
I have the Australian 45, interestingly, it was released as Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass here.
+Jamie Hunt It's on the Tijuana Brass LP, The Beat of the Brass. Once, it was considered to release Yesterday as a Paul McCartney single, and I believe Beach Boys' Caroline, No was a Brian Wilson release. Done.
Thank you for a simple, good, job.
Thank you for posting this
nice rare single45&LP
This is a lovely song💕
Love it- thank you!😊😊
print through
oh so that's what its called. because you can hear the song start faintly (above the surface noise) before it starts
I grew up on that
it is standard
case and point CLOSE ENCOUNTER single even cassette tapes
many records did this during my childhood
asamatteroffact all the records did on 45
Who is here after watching kill bok soon?? Cant believe the one thing that is stuck in my mind from an assassin movie is this beautiful love song....
Love ❤it
think of it as "comfort food"
I was wondering what that phantom horn blare was!
me recuerda mis tiempos de adolescente... que tiempos aquellos
i love the scratches, it reminds me of my own of my RCA Victor 45 player
Just subscribed, thanks ✌️
The only time Mr Alpert sang-pity!
He sang on some other TJB songs. Their song "Hello Dolly" for example. "Mame" is another one.
@grooverunner Thanks for letting me know! I will try and hunt it down.
You can also hear him "humming" during the TJB's "Tangerine".
Great 45 !
Great tune...
Wow, that's clean! A very nice sounding 45. :) JC
I remember a trip to the Jersey shore in my friend's 60 Oldsmobile convertible with the top down and this playing on the radio. WABC was a strong signal and came in for miles. Some people thought Herb Alpert couldn't sing, but I always liked the song. But I'll admit his instrumentals were better! Ha!
@MrLaynon ..Took your advice & did the same.. Got note saying to hurry home after work..Owe ya BIG.. Send your honey's this one guys!
The label made a lot of people
famous such as Peter Frampton, The Carpenters and
Humble Pie. Let's not forget
Spooky Tooth.

THey say the sky, the sky's in love with you...

This was the song that kept Richard Harris's *MacArthur Park* at #2...
Don't know if he were singing to his trumpet. Anyway, I spent a while (with a Burt Bacharach detour) finding the song was an age 7 goodie.
There was a video recorded in 1968 where he was singing it to his ex-wife while strolling through a wheat field.
So jazzy!
This is a good choice not only for the song, but also for the record. I wonder how many records you went through to find one this clean? sounds magnificent!
nice great - wabcradi..
"Listen closely during the breaks at 2:40 and 3:56, and you will hear a horn faintly in the background.
This is caused by "print through" of the original master tape from one layer to the other. It's like hearing the future just seconds before!" WELL I REMEMBER HEARING 45 RPM RECORDS WHERE YOU HEAR THE SONG START FAINTLY IN THE BACKGROUND BEFORE THE SONG ACCUALLY STARTED
I could hear that through my headphones. I wondered how they did that. I have heard that on other records too.
@@glennso47 I suppose it was a limitation of certain recording tapes.
I hope y’all will reply to this I have this 45 great tune….I also have the 45 of Dionne Warwick’s rendition of this song This Girl’s in Love with You on Scepter Records
TAILS OUT!!! dammit, now I remember hearing that when I was at studios and forgot why. Hush by Deep purple has that at the beginning of it as well. YOu hear a ghost of the howl before the howl starts.
His next big hit, "Rise" was big eleven years later! 1979.
