Well, quite unusual, an album of mine on world release by EMI was released by Toshiba records in Japan as a Red vinyl sampler on the Odeon label OP-8327 (yax-3414) and called :- Mood Deluxe Melodies for Best Dresser ???? Originally entitled "Shades of Hawaii" I can't begin to figure out the reason for the alternate title..

I think you will find the answer to that title change here:

The Surfers had a long recording career here in the islands. I've seen some of their material reissued on CD by a Japanese firm and also on an UK CD, but nothing stateside...outside of their last 1980s LP that was put on CD locally. Since they guys were all young good-looking Hawaiians they were usually all featured in some state of undress on their record jackets, which were ALL very colorful. Obviously, I like this one for the tiki action.

This one being shot at the entrance of Stephen Crane's Luau, no less, affording us a close up view of the entrance/logo Tikis!

I will have a Surfers track from the other album photographed at The Luau on my upcoming "The Sound of Tiki" CD:

These guys were discovered and their first album recorded at the Glendale Junior College in L.A. - a complete mainland fabrication of Polynesia. :)
