Whip it!

“Whipped Cream”   Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass   Columbia/EMI   France (Courtesy of Lp cover lover Uncle Gil) How refreshing to see this record with an alternate cover!   The original one being one of the most familiar of the sixties.   Upon closer inspection, this is kinda gross – looks more like sour cream (with chives?).
