I have no idea how many Hawaiian/Tahitian/Exotica records we have. We got most at thrift or antique stores for $2 or less each. We don't pass them up for $1 or so, and usually find them in bunchs.

But once you get them home and find the one or two that are really great, then you can go looking for that good copy of it that has no mildew and pay a bit more for a record you know is good.

Honestly, out of the 100+ records we have, I would narrow it down to maybe 10-15 that are really good. I mean good enough to go pay $15-20 for a mint version. The "Hawaiian Holiday" records are mostly good. That removed, leaves just a hand full. The stack of very dull, boring material is very tall. But the covers are sometimes worthy of keeping around.

Which reminds me. One day I need to start making notes on the collection so I don't have to go back and listen to them again to figure out what the gems are...
