An interesting UK LP....From the liner notes: "Listen to the music...the exciting Hawaii Five-O...the haunting Tamahine. And listen to the songs, sung by a young Filipino named Andy Lanai whose voice caresses the lyrics like waves caressing the shore..."

Well, how can you not love this Japanese gatefold LP featuring singer Teruko Hino modeling an assortment of the latest in Hawaiian resort fashion?? (Even if her voice is actually nasally and annoying...)

Another LP that's really a "restaurant record"...and a very FINE one. One of the orchestras that performed at Hotel Lexington's Hawaiian Room in NYC, George Hine's record features Johnny Coco as soloist on several cuts.
