That cover was perhaps my first experience with Exotica (and thus Tiki), thanks to Sandy Warner's seductive looks. I just didn't know it then. It will always remind me of the changing attitudes and evolving cultural consciousness we experience throughout life (as mentioned in this thread: I first came upon this LP at the American Forces Thrift Store in Berlin in the early 70s. Still a late teen, I was into David Bowie and Iggy Pop and the Stooges back then, yet I fell in love with the title and image of this cover. But there was no way on earth I would have considered listening to the music on that album, so clearly was it "old style" to me then. And I certainly would have never guessed that 30 years later I would be in Hawaii and meet the artist who recorded the album (thanks to Gecko) and even later include his music on a compilation I would publish. But Sandy Warner's timeless beauty spoke to me beyond the Generation Gap! :) Great research, Baron. |
