I'm getting ready to move my Hawaiian/Exotica record collection from the floor of a closet into a big shelf with nine cubby holes. While trying to organize my stacks into some logical order, I came across a cool liner note that I hadn't read before and wanted to share it. I'm starting this thread, in hopes others may want to post other great/funny/weird notes from the back of their Polynesian lps. It is amazing how similar a lot of the notes are, and how contorted some of the language can be.

Here's mine to get started...

"Where in the world is there a music lover who has not been captivated by popular songs about Hawaii and the South Seas islands? When, if only during rapt moments at Trader Vic's or Don the Beachcomber's, has anyone not wished that he could be transported by those melodies into some foreground of tropical reality? These Pacific moods will serve as a means of transport, as well as any recordings can. Be it Oahu, Tahiti or points further distant, there is a place here among the imaginary palms for every music dreamer.

Rapt moments indeed!
