Creative uses for whipped cream, Take Two.

Herb Alpert, the famed trumpeter who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next week, has teamed up with a cast of remixers to update Whipped Cream & Other Delights, the classic, 40-year-old album from Alpert and his Tijuana Brass.

The result, Whipped Cream & Other Delights: Re-Whipped, even updates the original's classic cover of a naked, alluring model with globs of whipped cream covering her private parts. The new cover features Guess model Bree Condon.

Alpert also recorded several new trumpet solos for the project. Alpert will be inducted into the Hall of Fame March 13 along with Jerry Moss, his partner at A&M Records, in recognition of their label's success in discovering and recording acts in the 1980s.

The album comes from archival label Shout Factory, which acquired the rights to Alpert's catalog last year.

"Everyone has a memory of Whipped Cream," Shout Factory VP of A&R Shawn Amos told Billboard. "It's the first record of my parents' that I dug as well. I wanted to introduce Herb to a new generation of people, so a remix album was always in my mind from the beginning."

The original Whipped Cream was Alpert's first No. 1 album and was in the top 10 of the chart for more than a year. Each track on the album had a food theme, with tracks including "Green Peppers," "Peanuts," "Taste of Honey," and "Whipped Cream," which became the theme to the The Newlywed Game.
