The '70s is filled with LP covers like this one. For about a year, I would actively try to find these things at various swap meets around L.A. County. I only have one that is Mexican, but I have about thirty that are Hawaiian. Only a few have Tiki Gods on the cover, but they all embrace that Hawaiian Hippie feel, with moustaches, hair over the ears, bell-bottoms... sometimes even bell-bottomed leisure suits! This is especially true after about 1976 -- the groups still look like Grand Funk Railroad, but there is that slight hint of Disco. That's a great find, Sabu.

Also, many of these LP covers have one of the group members smoking a cigarette!!!!
