1957
From Billboard - October 14, 1957: This album is somewhat more than the cover might imply. Not just a rehash of Hawaiian type dance music; it contains a number of interesting, authentic musical and rhythmic bits from Tahitian lore. Spots vocals, instrumentals and well-recorded percussion. Some spots are a good test for the hi-fi rig.

wow really good transfer! how did you get it sounding so clean without killing the highend of the drums?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment. I got lucky with the transfer, I guess... :) Maybe I had just replaced the needle or the pressing was in excellent shape?
