Tito Puente - Tambo - a full-on exotica album.
Cal Tjader/Lalo Schifrin - Several Shades of Jade - paired with "Breeze from the East" which is hit or miss.
Dominic Frontiere - Pagan Festival - paired with one of his (excellent) non-exotica albums
Elizabeth Waldo - Forget the name of the CD, but it compiles tracks from her two GNP albums.

Many thanks for your response! I've got the Waldo, which I discovered whilst researching Yma Sumac, and the Frontiere is on its way from Amazon. The other two I have never heard of and I have put them on my Amazon wish list. It's albums like Tambó and Several Shades of Jade that are difficult to identify, because they are done by artists whose genre isn't ordinarily exotica.

In the meantime I'm thinking about buying a record player. The Crosleys seem like a piece of junk, but I have discovered that Califone still makes them.
