It was, as its title indicated, the ninth album released by the Brass. Its cover, in addition to a number of still photos from Brass concerts, included a pop-culture joke. Ludwig van Beethoven had been a popular topic on T-shirts in the late 1960s. In this case, an illustration of Beethoven was shown apparently wearing a T-shirt with Alpert's face on it. The title was also a play on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. None of Beethoven's Ninth actually appeared in the album tracks. The album otherwise featured the usual collection of lively pop hit covers, along with a song called \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eA Banda\u003c\/span\u003e that was in the style of some of their earlier hits. The Brass' leisurely rendition of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Trolley Song\u003c\/span\u003e was in deliberate contrast to the well-known energetic version originally sung by Judy Garland in the film \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMeet Me in St. Louis\u003c\/span\u003e. The album also featured an unusual original entry, a mournful, minor-key melody called \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBud\u003c\/span\u003e, which was written \"In memory of our dear friend Ervan (Bud) Coleman\" (who had died from surgery complications on May 26, 1967 (age 45), before the album was completed) and was also credited as being authored by Coleman and his wife Eleanor. Coleman was the composer of several Brass tunes (notably \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eTijuana Taxi\u003c\/span\u003e) and also played guitar, mandolin and banjo on several TJB tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793905611033,"sku":"SP-4134","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-herb_alpert-ninth-03.jpg?v=1783555437","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/sp-4134","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
