Title: Herb Alpert - "Rise"
Post by: Brad Johnson on February 15, 2007, 11:52:27 AM
My best friend is looking for the Herb Alpert solo album "Rise" on CD.  She's given up looking but I wanted to take a stab at it for her birthday.

Looks like the CD has been out of production for a while.  There are a bunch of knock-offs and bootlegs made from old LPs on evil-bay, but looks like the actual CDs are few and far between.  The real ones were Japanese imports and are usually designated as such.

Any possibility one of you folks have a copy you would part with for a REASONABLE amount of money?

The only Herb Alpert I have is on vinyl. I feel so old...  sad

Y'know...

I think I have that on vinyl.  I suppose I could rip both sides to a couple MP3 files.   shocked

I had thought about getting the record and pulling each song off as a .wav, then I could burn a compilation CD.  But that's a ton of time and trouble when I can buy the real thing on e-bay (albeit for a pretty steep price).

What are friends for, after all, but to separate you from your money?  grin
