Thanks for the news!

The two tracks from the VERY FIRST Exotica music compilation -- DCC's 'Exotica' from 1995 -- has two Surfmen (credited to South Sea Serenaders) tracks on it, 'Taboo' and 'Tahiti Sunrise'. These were taken from the master tapes themselves and sound terrific. I'm wondering if this mysterious CD-R sounds as good as these two tracks. I'm also wondering that perhaps the two South Sea Serenaders (Surfmen) LPs were released on budget CDs with different artwork (e.g. -- Robert Drasnin 'Exotic Excursion'), sometime in the 1990s in a very limited run; and that perhaps the person selling these has simply ripped them from such, rather than going in and getting them from the master tapes (which would involve a lot of work, licencing, permissions, etc.), but yet would've produced a far more professional product with original cover art, liner notes, etc.

Good news, and I'm glad it's being offered. But there's something fishy about this.
