Dammit! So much Hawaiian vinyl I've never seen...
While I try to contain my lust, I can post a few I've gotten lately -

A tourist 7":

and the back description -

And some way-pre-tiki Hawaiian tunes on Edison discs:
From 1924 -

and released in 1916 -

The 78's are neat to have, but the music is rather average. I think. It's actually pretty hard to hear properly through all the surface-noise.
Guess I'll hafta wait til they come out with USB-turntables with a 78RPM setting and steel-needle cartridge-heads before I can transfer & clean 'em!
