A 10-inch lp from Japan. Hawaiian starlight by Jack Sound '79. This Japanese instrumental lp has some great arrangements on it. Songs of the islands by the Jack David Band and the Kenny Sisters. A European lp with a mix of Indonesian and Hawaiian songs all in Hawaiian style. A Dutch lp, Tropical breeze by Papaya. Aloha by the Blue Wahinis [Wahines]. A European budget label lp, these songs were re-issued over and over again under different ficticious group names. I think it might be Frank Baum or George De Fretes, but I really don't know. Think of these lps as the "Luke Leilanis" of Europe. Golden Hawaiian album by Leo Addeo and his orchestra. Interesting in that as a Japanese release, it has several songs by Leo Addeo that were NOT on his American Hawaiian records, namely the Japan favorites On a little bamboo bridge, Kaimana Hila, and Malihini mele. Yakety sax in Hawaii by Boots Randolph, saxophone. Personally, the most interesting of the batch. This is a Japan release of a Monument label (U.S. based). I had no idea Boots Randolph EVER did a Hawaiian album and have never seen it anywhere. THe Ebay listing I won was the first time I'd ever heard of this lp and it is, indeed, performed in that Yakety sax style. I wonder if it was ever even released in the U.S. If you like this type of music, check out my free online Hawaiian vinyl radio station operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week "Hawaiian hi-fi" on Live365.com http://www.live365.com/stations/kaiwaza
