I was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely "later Les Baxter" style, more mod, etc..but Yma Sumac warbling over everything is awesome. I totally enjoyed this LP..it's like a bizarre rock-opera. A cool souvenir album from King's Alley Shopping Center, soon to be town down also, I understand. Eddie Kekaula used to perform there and was part of their well-known "changing of the Guard" presentation. These ladies were still singing at the Outrigger Hotel when I was working there a few years ago. Released in1978, and looking very 1970's indeed is the LP from the Society Of Seven, "Fashionably Yours." They were still performing regularly at the Outrigger Hotel, but now only perform on special occasions. They were the longest running show in Waikiki, with occasional membership changes, obviously. From the UK, "Hawaii" by The South Sea Serenaders features Billy Bell on steel guitar (as do MANY Hawaiian records out of the UK of various studio groups). Nice easy listening orchestral Hawaiian tidbits for maitai sipping. If you like these kinds of records, stop by my online hobby radio station "Hawaiian Hi-Fi" on live365.com that plays vinyl selections 24/7, free of charge. http://www.live365.com/stations/kaiwaza
