Awesome thread, guys. I collect Los Angeles location albums, but I'm sure there are some that are tiki places. I certainly wouldn't pass one up if it weren't from L.A. either. Off the top of my head, and from here at work, I know that I have a live album from the Trails restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley. ModCom's Chris Nichol's knew that place well, and Korla Pandit used to play there. Alas, the LP isn't a Korla Pandit release, and I can't remember the guy's name off-hand, but the title of the album is "Nite Life," and he indeed plays mostly '60s Hawaiian hits, including the title song.

If anyone runs across another copy of that Rancho Cucamonga album, please let me know. I spent some time on Archibald Street one day, the former home of Zappa's Z-Studio in Cucamonga.
