Aloha
I live in Sweden where exotica records are rare, if even existing. I have managed to find a Sonet (ABBA label) Swe-released Arthur Lyman EP (with Taboo). My first exotica find were Martin Denny's "Another taste of honey" (quite common here) and a Danish Yma Sumac EP (Xtabay). When I started getting obsessed with this music around 1996 I started to frequent fleamarkets a lot more, now the exotica LP I have found at least 7-8 copies of is "Rainy Night in Shangri-La" on Viva label (USA). This is by Jonathan Knight "The lonely Harpsichord", exotica standards like Quiet Village done with environmental sounds: rain and thunder throughout, quite nice and unusual but you must go to the bathroom after a couple of tracks :)

What is the most common exotica record in your neighbourhood?
