Does anyone do what I do? You find one exotica album and instead of being content you have to dig through the stacks of Mantovani hoping for more. I have visions of an old-timer having to unload his exotica record collection and me going to get a shopping cart to truck them all to the check-out counter! It never happens like that but there's always hope!

John,
I always hit the record racks when I go thrifting and I find stuff all the time. I'll go through every single record - if it takes an hour or more to do so, then that's how much time I'll spend doing it.

A couple of years ago I hit paydirt. Went to Savers in La Habra one afternoon when they just put out their latest loot. It looked like someone dumped off their whole Exotica/Hawaiian/Hapa Haole collection. I filled a whole shopping cart with them all -- walked away with about 80 records! Best part is, I asked the manager if he did quantity discounts. He asked, "are you gonna buy all those?" When I said yes he said he'd sell em at 3 for a dollar! Score!
