!!Going Places!! from 1965 is the fifth album by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Along with Whipped Cream and Other Delights from the same year, it became one of the group’s most successful releases. The album with instrumental Latin jazz/easy listening music was originally released by A&M Records, a company that Herb Alpert (A) had founded together Jerry Moss (M) in 1962.

The cover type is Windsor. First issued around 1905 by Stephenson Blake, it became immensely popular in the late 1960s and 1970s. The !!Going Places!! album was one of Windsor’s earlier prominent uses from this revival, preceding the use by Whole Earth Catalog from 1968 on. Peter Whorf Graphics designed the cover, using a photograph taken at Movieland of the Air in Santa Ana, California.
