Legendary musician, producer, and artist Herb Alpert recently compiled his life’s work through a new documentary “Herb Alpert Is…” We were fortunate to contribute to the packaging and print work for the Deluxe Vinyl LP and CD sets.

Unboxing the Deluxe CD Set
This release from Herb Alpert Presents is a definitive retrospective on the illustrious career of one of America’s most unique musical voices, Herb Alpert! Containing 63 tracks culled from 6 decades of the trumpeter’s classic recordings, Herb Alpert Is… is the perfect companion piece to the 2020 feature length documentary of the same name.
Each of these complex works of art was a passion project for us and a distinct pleasure to be trusted with such craftsmanship of design. Our love of printing and music have found its crossroads a few times here at Classic Litho, but none so special as this.
