zizou bar in Papeete - General Tiki

It seems that on the Internet the "Les Tikis" album being discussed here is often incorrectly attributed to them, for example here: http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Zizou%20Bar%20Tahiti%201965:1922053295 . It really had me confused, as I thought, "Wait, did this '60s soft psychedelic/surf band from Santa Cruz really do a live album -- of Tahitian songs -- in Tahiti in 1965?" That really would have been too good to be true; I figure any linking of Polynesiana and '60s psychedelia is bound to be interesting. But no, it just seems like an error repeated on a number of websites.
