I like the Tijuana Brass stuff but not so much for this. Gone is that flavor for more of a soft jazz feel. One vocal track of the eight, I Got It From You, which is bad. I did like Herbs vocal from This Guys In Love With You some years earlier, but this one is just bad. Only could like three of these tracks, which were the closest to a jazz arrangement. One disco leaning, Manhattan Melody, which takes the worst. It was that era. And of course when you own your own label, you can put out whatever you want. Surprised this even charted on the pop side (#61) but the #10 jazz seems more in line. Magic Man was a #79 single.
