More unusual/obscure Les Baxter covers - Tiki Music

Arrangements are in the style of Baxter's supporting work for Yma Sumac. Would love to hear other unusual/obscure Les Baxter covers (beyond the ubiquitous "Quiet Village"), if anyone's game.

Can't really see from the photo. Thanks. It's on Protone Records, a tiny Hollywood indie label. There are a couple of cool 45s on the same label (Fleet & Freddy, Roscoe Weathers), but this is the only LP I've seen...
