Hi. I hope it's not too lame of me to ask a favor on my first post but I'm desperately seeking MP3s of the Tiki Gardens LP for an article I'm taking part in and I'm hoping someone here could help me out with this.

This is the one Exotica LP I could never afford. I had a CD-R of the album for years but I've looked everywhere and apparently I've lost it!

I don't know if there is private messaging on this board so in the event that any of you can help me out I'll include my email address: will (@) showandtellmusic (dot) com

I'll do whatever I can to return the favor in some way.

Thanks so much. -Will

I should probably add that I'm a long-time Exotica fan and have spent years advocating this music through my vinyl sales and the old version of my website Show and Tell which had scans and reviews of many dozens of Exotica LPs. Also, I read through some old threads here and understand all the controversy over the Tiki Gardens record. It consistently fetches more money than any other title and MANY folks have a hard time understanding that. I think if it were a common LP, it'd be $15 like any other cool vanity label Exotica release. I love the album for its hometown warmth and have for years but I also understand the backlash!
