There are also plenty of good Exotica CDs available from Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman, and a few others (certainly not enough), but very few compilations. I have a couple from Del-Fi Records, which yield a few good tracks, but they don't approach the level of excellence found on Mondo Exotica (or the usual greatness of their Surf compilations). I've started to collect original material on vinyl and convert it to CD/MP3. I recently scored the very rare White Goddess by Frank Hunter, as well as Eden's Island, and Exotica by Ted Auletta -- which I think is an absolutely fantastic album. This is a fun and facinating genre of music, although it does tend to make me kinda thirsty for Mai Tai's......
