Well, unfortunately it will be a while, like end of March! It's gone into production now, I was just reminded to write the promo text for the coming catalog, but til its printed and shipped from Asia it'll be months.

Here is a sample of what the packaging will be like, not in a crappy Jewel case where you have to squeeze the booklet in and out, but it is glued into a cardboard cover and will open like a book, with 50 pages (this is a SAMPLE for the style only):

I am so thrilled I got to squeeze that photo that Gecko took of me and Martin Denny in there. Martin holding my book and me holding his poodle. :)

The booklet and liner notes make me want this package more than the tracks. :) And it's kind of funny to see the Ed Sullivan album in the booklet. Before I became interested in Tiki, I bought a copy of that at a thrift store, framed it, and gave it to a tiki-phile friend as a birthday present. I paid a dollar for it.
