A couple mentions of the two LPs by the Surfmen, so I put up mp3s of the whole stereo album Exotic Island, here on the web. Just for a few weeks, and then I'll probably take it down. Maybe replace it with another album next time if anyone's interested.

Also interesting to note that the exact same song-for-song album also appears on the same Somerset label as "Tradewinds Romance from Hawaii to Tahiti" and it says "recorded in Honolulu by The South Seas Serenaders."

Both say recorded under direction of D.L. Miller as Sven said. But the Surfmen one lists a bunch of "west coast" musicians, including Paul Horn, Alvino Rey, Jack Sperling, etc. It also adds, "... at United Recording Studios, Hollywood, California." So there goes the whole name and recorded-in-Honolulu bit on the cover of the other one.
