Yes its true. from today's Washington Post: "After more than a decade out of print, Alpert's best-selling TJB works from the 1960s are being reissued by Shout! Factory, a small Los Angeles-based label. A complicated publishing deal tied up the rerelease until last month, when the Alpert-approved series began with "The Lonely Bull," the TJB's 1962 debut, as well as "South of the Border" (1964) and a collection of unreleased and obscure recordings (some with new Alpert trumpet parts) from 1963-74 called "Lost Treasures." Eight more remastered originals will follow throughout the year."full article (and a good one I must say): http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28538-2005Apr5.htmlEven if you have the originals (and I know all of y'all do!) you'll need these.

    I don't know which blew my mind more:

    -He wrote "Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke
    -He's Jewish/Hungarian (should've known, too thematic!)
    -That Whipped Cream chick is now 65.

    REEDACKULOUS!

    But are they being released with both mono and stereo mixes? That is the key.

    a collection of unreleased and obscure recordings

    That is funny. My grandparents were Hungarian Jews and thought Herb was the bee's knees. Maybe this explains things.
