I stand somewhat corrected. There are some digital recordings floating around under a few titles; Even More Exotic Percussion being one of them, and Still More being another. As far as I can tell, Milt never released an LP with these titles -- they just appear to be the original Kapu tracks renamed (or they may be out-takes with different names). I believe this is to be mapping:

Original -> Digital
Kapu -> Forbidden
Koko Head ->Pete's Creation
Leahi -> Diamond Head
Maika -> Blue Eyes
Moon Festival -> Chinese Holiday
Mileka -> Orange Gold
Lolani -> Bird of Heaven
Lehua -> Red Blossom
Lanikai -> Heavenly Sea
Telani -> Evening Star

Some of the digital recordings sound a little brighter than what I have, but the original pressing is pretty bad (Crown Records were notorious for using poor quality vinyl, even rumoured to occasionally "cut" it with beach sand), so it might be my copy.
