The Beat of the Brass is a 1968 album by the popular instrumental group Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, the group's tenth. It was the last album by the Tijuana Brass to be released in both mono (LP 146) and stereo (SP 4146) versions; all albums afterward would be released in stereo only.
The album was released on the heels of a April 22, 1968 CBS television special by the same title. Tom Mankiewicz, who wrote the special, also provided two paragraphs of liner notes for the album. Explaining the concept behind the album, Mankiewicz writes, "The beat of America is more than a musical experience. It finds its pulse and rhythms in the very life of the country: the crack of a bat against a baseball, the spinning wheels and pounding machinery of a modern factory, a swinging crowd in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, a saddle twisting desperately against his rider..."
The album includes Alpert's only major vocal hit, "This Guy's in Love with You", which became an overnight success following its inclusion during the special in a sequence featuring Alpert and his then-wife Sharon. The song became the group's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching the top spot on June 22, 1968 and remaining there for four consecutive weeks. Alpert would not reach the top of the singles chart again until 1979's "Rise". The other track from The Beat of the Brass to reach the Billboard Hot 100 was "Cabaret", which peaked at No. 72 in May 1968.
The album was reissued on CD by Shout! Factory on August 16, 2005. It was reissued on CD and through various download services by Alpert's own label, Herb Alpert Presents, in September 2016.
