I just think this is a great cover, don't you? Hawaiian music makes it's way to Argentina...sort of. Ever heard a "Hawaiian steel guitar" version of "Nights In White Satin"? It's here. Again, a rare record, but I like the trippy jacket. Lastly today, this is not allthat rare of a record, but when I was a child, my neighbor had a copy of this LP & I used to borrow it regularly. This is a desert isle disc for me...the music is awesome..THREE steel guitars & xylophone going full blast with very 1959 arrangements..the best "Cockeyed Mayor of Kauanakakai" EVER. Most of all though, the photograph on this LP will forever be etched into my mind as an absolute ICON of exotic South Sea imagery...the huge conch shell, the sunset reflecting on her face & body and how absolutely beautiful & Polynesian looking this woman is, her detached look..it's just awesome...it's truly iconic for me. In all my 2,000 LPs I think THIS is my favorite cover art. Oddly, btw, their followe up LP "Hawaiian Punch" sucked the big one...different producer ruined it completely.
