I received my copy today and I am happy to say that the sound is good, it seems to be made from a good quality source (not LP as far as my amateur ears can tell) although not quite as good as the "remastered from the original Sommerset tapes" that is available as a digital download (there seems to be a small amount of background hiss when listening with headphones that the digital download does not have). The liner notes not only reproduce the liner notes from the back of the albums but also includes a lengthy and descriptive track-by-track review of Sounds of Exotic Island by Sam Hick; my only gripe is that the original album covers are reproduced in less than 1/4 of a page each (front and back of each album), it would have been nice to have a full page reproduction of the album artwork. But Sounds of Exotic Island is one of my favorite exotica albums and at less than $10 plus shipping it was definitely worth it.
