My buddy Dave over at the Mower Shed asked if we have ever bought an Album based on the Cover.
Indeed we have!
When we were kids, my sister and I used to dance about the Living Room on weekends, with an 1000 piece Jigsaw Puzzle set up, while the Hi-Fi played Andy Williams, Andre Kostelanetz, Dean Martin and Herb Alpert.
But neither of us bought the above pictured album; my Dad did along with several million other guys.

I had a great Herb Alpert album in 1968. I wonder if it was this one. I loved his sound. That was the same summer I listed to Dionne Warwick until I thought I would wear out the needle on the turntable.
I'd buy this one just for the cover. The difference between this one and the Susan Cagle album I found is that I have heard of Herb Alpert, but I'd still buy it in a snap. Hell, I'd even buy a turntable to play the damn thing on!
Cheers!
Oh my God! Mine too and I love it.
I made up dances for each song!
I remember that album. My dad played Herb Alpert all the time and my mom made wedding cakes and catered weddings. I was small enough to ask my dad (with amazement) if that was my mom when they got married.
I remember them both standing in the kitchen laughing ,with tears running out of their eyes.
I guess they thought that was a funny question.
Thanks for bringing back a good memory.

ya'll have me feelin' awful nostagic about music...
barb- I like Alberts song 'The Lonely Bull"...very beautiful in a way you would not expect from a trumpet.
Davy- I remember when your Dad brought home the really swingin' stuff like...Pete Fontain!
Ol' lady- sometimes I think we were raised by the same folks....I'll swanney!
Lillinda- That precious! I used tto try to get my mother to enter a doris day contest!
My Dad did too!
This reminds me of that Ohio Players album cover from the 70's with the woman wearing nothing but a clear plastic fire hose. Very risque for the time.
