Here are a couple of 7 in. LPs...not too many of those floating around these days...

Sudliche klange, a German release featuring Valentinos Hawaiian Band and others. An interesting mix of Polynesian & Latin songs kind of clumped together in medleys as if no one realized they weren't the same place...Hawaiian-waltzer, Nanni hat heimweh, Tampico, Auf Jamaica, Baiao bongos, etc. Nice cover art.

I'm a bit of a fan of Harry Hougassian & have several of his LPs. This 7 inch release out of France features the titles Mello yellow, Hello Mister Brown, Est-ce que tu m'aimeras, & Aora Bounty Club....how can you not love that?

Ok, this is obviously a kiddie record, but can I tell you how much I LOVE this concept?? This is Around the world in sound: Hawaii by Mookleani & Group (Love the name). What they did is take 4 of the "Luke Leilani" tracks (Aloha, Hawaiian War Chant, Harbor Lights, & Drowsy Waters) and recorded some small male vocal group singing new vocals OVER the tracks. Drowsy Waters became "Sandy Beaches & Coconuts" and I LOVE it. Their rendition of Hawaiian War Chant became the guys (and I'm totally being literal here) singing "Wiki wiki wiki wiki wiki whack, wiki wiki wiki wiki wiki wiki whack, whick whick whick, whack, whack, whack, wiki-waki wiki-waki woo." It's a thing of unspeakable beauty
