Thanks for the cool info. AquaZombie.
I'm on a major record hunting binge just now and spent about 2 hours going through about 1,000 albums acramed into a bunch of dingy shelves in a nasty thrift store. Of course that's why they only cost 50 cents each, so I'm not complaining. I haven't haunted that stack for awhile, so I came up with intersting stuff.
Today I found one of those 78 record booklets by Harry Owens and the Royal Hawaiian Band. Four of the five discs were inside and appear to be in reasonable shape.
I also came up with a fairly decent copy of Esquivel's "Strings Aflame".

I keep hearing how great this guy is, but I've only heard a snatch or two of his stuff off lounge CD's, so I'm looking forward to hearing this one.
Also, got a Les Baxter album I had not seen or heard before called "Jewels of the Sea"

This has some great titles on it:
Sunken City
Stars in the Sand
Sea Nymph
Singing Sea Shells
Dolphin
Dawn Under the Sea
The Enchanted Sea
The Girl from Nassau
The Ancient Galleon
Coral Castle
Dancing Diamonds
Jewels of the Sea
I also picked up a couple of odd Hawaiian music albums, as well as Martin Denny's Hawaii Goes a Go-Go. My Dad still plays this record and won't let me have it, so I was glad to find a copy.
