Description
A&M Prime Cuts Vol. 1 is a compelling snapshot of the early A&M Records roster, showcasing the label’s distinctive blend of breezy pop, Latin-tinged grooves, and lush orchestration that defined its 1960s identity. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass appear twice — including their breakthrough ‘The Lonely Bull’ — while Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 contribute the irresistible ‘Mas Que Nada’ and a silky reading of ‘The Look Of Love.’ The Sandpipers’ iconic ‘Guantanamera’ and Chris Montez’s smooth ‘Call Me’ round out a CD that doubles as a lovingly curated tour through one of pop music’s most stylistically cohesive independent labels. Essential for fans of 1960s sunshine pop and Latin soul…
