S.R.O., issued in 1966, was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' seventh album.[1] It included work by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, as well as the band's cover of InchMameInch (from the hit musical of the same name), one of the first TJB recordings to include vocals from Alpert, as he and the group sang the song's chorus in the middle of the otherwise-instrumental rendition. Released as a single, InchMameInch reached the U.S. singles top 40, as did InchThe Work Song,Inch which featured the InchpingInch sound effect of a hammer or a pickaxe hitting rocks or other solid objects. S.R.O. means InchStanding-room onlyInch. Album Tracks 1. Our Day Will Come 2. Mexican Road Race 3. I Will Wait for You 4. Bean Bag 5. The Wall Street Rag 6. The Work Song 7. Mame 8. Blue Sunday 9.

Sounds Like... Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass is the eighth album released by the popular 1960s instrumental group. The album had it's first CD in 2006 on the Shout!Factory tag. - The best-known song on this album is probably the Burt Bacharach composition that was used as the title theme for the 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale. According to liner notes in the Shout!Factory CD, the song was originally recorded with a vocal, but Bacharach was dissatisfied with the recording. He sent the tapes to Herb Alpert, who overdubbed some trumpets and some Tijuana Brass instruments (most prominently marimba and percussion) and sent the song back to Bacharach. This version, with the Bacharach orchestra rather than the Brass members providing most of the backing, is the one included on the Sounds Like album. Album Tracks 1. Gotta Lotta Livin' to Do 2. Lady Godiva 3. Bo-Bo 4. Shades of Blue 5. In a Little Spanish Town 6. Wade in the Water 7. Town Without Pity 8. The Charmer 9. Treasure of San Miguel 10. Miss Frenchy Brown 11. Casino Royale
