Recently purchased a VERY wonderful & strange LP..from 1968, Nick Nicholson & The Neketini Brass...playing Native Maori (New Zealand) songs after the fashion of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. I've always enjoyed the "tijuana" sound & all the cash-in groups that put out LPs in that style..and I do have Jack De Mello's Waikiki Brass, but I've never even HEARD of the Neketini Brass record and it's actually very well done..ole. |

That Audition label "South Pacific" is one HOT cover. I have that photo in travel book and I've only seen the LP once or twice. Don't want to pay much for it as the LP is just a cheapo cash-in of the South Pafic musical numbers and I have azillion of those, but that's the BEST jeacket! I keep hoping it shows up for cheap at Goodwill or something one day..maybe..:) |

I think that Tiki on the South Pacific cover was also used in a promo shot of Martin Denny and the band on the back of one of their album covers. Exotica vol.3 maybe? I'll check when I get home. Cheers and Mahalo, |

At some point I am going to sell of my record collection...simply put, I have accumulated way too many and am in need of a purge. Aside from some Denny, Lyman and Baxter and a few others (my "White Goddess" album) I will be downsizing, so keep that in mind if there was anything you have seen you are interested in. Thanks, PTD |

Hey PTD, Does this Polynesia album say where the cover was shot? Looks like a possible tiki bar like The Tikis. DC |

Aloha, y'all! I've been a lurker for a long time but finally signed up a couple weeks ago. Took me about a week, but I went through all 23 pages of this topic, which was quite fun. I have a lot of these records, and want a lot I don't have. Here are some that I've recently scanned - mostly gotten since Christmas. Most bizarre first: Just finished listening to it for the first time. Cheesy, kinda Lawrence Welk style music. First side is Hawaiian music, second side is "inspirational." Includes Don Ho and The Surfers. The rest of these are better. :wink: cheers! |

this also belongs in thrift store finds..a whopping 82 CENTS bought a lot of entertainment ..like a cross between Vic Mizzy and Lyman..the ADDAMS FAMILY goes on a luau...harpsichord version of QUIET VILLAGE..everything has ersatz bird and surf and jungle sounds..in other words its totally AWESOME I know its a crap knockoff on a cheapass label (VIVA!!!) but it defies its crapulence with weird greatness |

couldn't pass this "stag" album up....the verbiage kills me! sadly (or not!), the "free genuine french tickler" (worth $2.00!) was not included. This was a little painful to listen to...retro, racy & raunchy! Funny, but a little too gross to listen all the way through. :wink: "she craved sex 24 hours a day, and took it every way, with anyone, grocery boys, salesmen, bartenders, even bananas and carrots!!!" yikes! ** oops, I guess this should be in beyond tiki. I never really checked this thread, but it looks like mostly hawaiian stuff. [ Edited by: bigbadtikidaddy 2011-06-13 15:37 ] |

Well, I got to feeling so blue about all that Sons Of Hawaii vinyl on shameless display that I went over to eBay, and a little while ago won this: It's a box set of their album "Folk Music of Hawaii", with an LP, a 45, and a book. And the book is full of - wait for it - AUTOGRAPHS OF THE BAND MEMBERS, INCLUDING GABBY PAHINUI AND MY IDOL DAVID "FEET" ROGERS! So I'm feeling bettah now. :) |

Finally picked up a mint copy of this album by the Cavaliers at a garage sale this weekend. Every copy I've found in the past has horrible ring-wear that obscures the best part of the artwork - the Morgantown Tiki-Stem Champagne Saucers!

Some recent finds, all from New Zealand record labels (pardon the camera angle, which was due to lighting/flash problems):
Field recordings made by James L. Anderson, the American photo journalist who wrote the book "Cannibal". Includes jungle sounds!
A selection of performances from the 1st South Pacific Arts Festival, held in Suva in May 1972. CN |

Club Nouméa, thanks for posting that Passion Flower lp. I've never seen it before and they obviously used another photo from the same shoot as the Ferrante & Teicher "Pianos In Paradise" cover:
There's been discussion here before on whether the model they used was actually black, or another race in dark makeup, it being hard to tell with that fern and shadow obscuring her face. The Passion Flower cover finally reveals her true identity. She sure looks black to me. Although I suppose she could be Melanesian. What does everyone else think? |

I think she's black, but with some Asian or South-American thrown in. The best Exotica girls were always of mixed descent:

I noticed right away about that Passion Flower LP...same photo shoot as the Ferrante & Teicher LP. I would say she's black, probably Asian-Black mixed. I prever the Passion Flower pic & would love to come across that record one day. |

Thanks for making that link. The back of the LP credits "Three Lions of New York" as the source of the photo. It does make you wonder how an independent record label in Auckland got its hands on that photo. Did they see "Pianos In Paradise" and contact the agency to see if they had any other photos from the same session? The album itself is perfect tiki bar background music - ukulele and Hawaiian steel guitar accompanying songs in Cook Islands Maori. I was pleased to find it for $1. CN

Nice finds, Komohana. I'm curious about that "Magic Of Hawaii" LP by The Waikiki Beach Boys. I have all of their records, I THINK, but I'm wondering what the tracks from that LP are. I'm thinking it's probably the Aussie/UK version of one of the American re-issues, but I'm NOT sure..:) |

komohana, nice scores! I just bought vol. II of the Hawaii Calls instrumentals last week on iTunes - but vinyl is ever so much cooler. Jules Ah See AND Barney Isaacs on steel apparently (had to throw in mandatory steel factoid). bigbrotiki, I think the relevance of the socksoff disc is the "Pott Farmer" bit - some Hawaiian guy who grows pakalolo financed it. Just a guess. It's never too late to have a happy childhood! [ Edited by: emspace 2011-08-29 10:51 ] |

I hear this is terrific, but alas, my record player has, for months been buried under the contents of the collapsed shelves of my attic. |

About 2 and a half years ago I found this record jacket but containing some bad German pop (?) music compilation. But yesterday I found the disk, one side minty the other scratched, for .50 cents.

Those are some GREAT finds Tikicoma! That Les Baxter "Que Mango" is pretty rare & fetches quite a good price when it shows up on auction sites..I'd hang on to that one! THe Martin Denny "Enchanted Isle" is rare as well! Outside of the Denny/Lyman/Baxter LPs, I Think that Phil Moore "Polynesian Paradise" and Milt Raskin's "Exotic Percussion" are two outstanding exotica albums. I think Phil Moore is famous in MY mind for creating what is probably the only somewhat "dark" rendition of "Blue Hawaii" I've ever heard..love it. Paradise is a state of mind.
