Polynesian Paradise has been in my top 10 Exotica albums for a long time - I can’t recommend it enough.
It was never released on CD as the Master-tapes were damaged.
It got a CD release in Japan in 2006, which consisted of 6-tracks from the 1/4” master and the remaining 6 from an excellent needle-drop of a pristine copy of the original Stereo album.
Here is some information from the Japanese CD :

Source Information - EM-Records (Japan) EM1057CD Stereo 2006.

This recordings originally issued on STRAND RECORDS [SLS 1004] in 1959.
Track 3,6,7,9,10,11 taken from original 1/4 inch tape, others taken from Vinyl Source.
CD Mastered by Koichi Hara with Koki Emura at Magic Hour Studios, 2006.

I hope this information is useful for interested parties.
Cheers.
