That "Polynesian Percussion" LP by "Chango & The Polynesians"...I've sometimes seen people on eBay and elsewhere list it as "Chaino"..it's not. I don't know the story behind it, but it's a re-issue of a Crown Records LP "Polynesia" by "The Polynesians", a great group who recorded about 10 LPs on the Crown label.
I wonder what the grand total number of "Percussion" LPs issued is? The record bins must have been crammed full of them in the early days of stereo. Like the priceless "New Age Gorilla, etc" post earlier, imagine all the strange percussion LPs one could record.
I especially love a budget label LP (Coronet, I think) called "Hawaii in Ping Pong Percussion", which was a "Luke Leilani" reissue that had not ONE percussion instrument in the ensemble. But Pirouette made up for by issuing "Hawaii in Ping Pong Percussion" by Lukleani (like that name could even exist in Hawaiian) adding the samer percussive intros they stuck on all their percussion LPs (Banjo and.....Harmonica and....etc,etc.)..it's sweet.
