WOW!! Cool find, thank for the link. Are these downloadable? Looks like you can only play them. Cheers and Mahalo, |

Hmm, yeah, it does appear to be play only, not download. That is unfortunate. But the dude who runs it did post some of those records originally on his first site: And those all seem to be still available for dl, e.g. Darla Hood of "Our Gang/Little Rascals" fame singing "Quiet Village." |

Thanks y'all - and greetings. Mostly I'm a lurker here but I appreciate the interest (and the ongoing exotica-related music discussions, of course). Mr. Fab is right - while it would be pretty easy for a savvy user to hack out the site's MP3s - I've made them at least nominally play-only at this point. Either way, hope you enjoy! And please do let me know if there are other 45s in this vein that I should know about - the search is ongoing. And: hi Mr. Fab! |

djlittledanny - I'm really getting a kick out of the website - thanks for all the work. I like the way "Sunset Mood" by Carmen Lesay so overtly mimics "Quiet Village". Lots of fun. Sabu |

Wonderful deep dark record bin research! Mostly unheard of obscure gems, a pleasure to discover. |

This is great! You need to get these compiled on a CD - I would buy it! |

Did anybody else check out "Jungle Bunny" yet? Words fail me ... ! Reminds me a bit of the song "Wetback" on one of those "Big Itch" comps from Norton. |

I'm listening to "Jungle Bunny" now. Err...maybe it meant something different in those days..?
Howdee! a 45 called "Watusi Wedding" is one I'm quite obsessed with: |

Yeah, I had no idea of its pejorative meaning, either. Definitely adds a whole new layer. Old rhythm 'n' blues can get tricky like this sometimes. Thanks for the tip on "Watusi Wedding." |

That is astounding! So many, many tunes I've never heard. Would make a helluva compilation (or 5!) |

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cool. Why is it that when I go to thrift stores or garage sales and look at the 45s all I find are Trini Lopez and Carpenters singles? |

Not necessarily tiki-related, but I have another page of 100 45s up that may be of interest to many here: Called the Lonely Beat: 100 Themes from the Naked City, it's all '50s/'60s 45s along the jazz/hipster/beatnik/torch/club mambo continuum. Based in some reality, but made over by the era's pop culture as the gritty, bohemian Naked City, it's my homage to the post-War American city and the imagery and cliches associated with it. |

This is great! Reminds me of the old "Swing for a Crime" comp., which opened up whole new worlds for me, musically speaking. Thanks for sharing! |
