From the back cover: For those who are still strangers to the South Pacific and its music, we hope that the fascinating off-beat guitars, coconut ukuleles and native drums, the striking tone colors of nose flutes and bamboo woodblocks, and especially the exciting voice of Mila, Tahiti's favorite singer, will be inducement enough for them to break away and join the ever-increasing group of aficionados who murmur with a sigh and a faraway look in their eye: "I remember Tahiti..." – Eddie Lund

From the back cover: It is no accident that Xavier Cugat is acclaimed the foremost exponent of Latin-American music today, for he comes from a family which prided itself on its patronage of the arts and which traces its ancestry back several generations in Spanish history. He was born in Barcelona, Spain, studied music at the finest conservatories in Europe and groomed for the concert stage.
It was during a concert in Rome that the Great Enrico Caruso heard the brilliant young violinist, Cugat, perform and persuaded him to accompany him on a tour of the United States. After remaining with Caruso for five years, Cugat realized that he could not become the greatest concert violinist in the world, and if he could not be the greatest, he would seek a new vocation. Thereupon, he decided to do cartooning, which had been a hobby of his since he was a young man. He achieved great success as a cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times newspaper, but finally became bored with the routine of having to meet deadlines and once more returned to his first love – music.
He formed an orchestra in California featuring Latin-American music. This type of music was partially unheard of at that time, but his unique treatment of it soon "educated" the public and was widely accepted. Credit, in considerable part, is due Xavier Cugat for the popularity of the Rhumba, Tango, Conga and Mambo today, for his music not only popularized but actually influence these dance rhythms.

Great Themes From James Bond
Thunderball / Goldfinger
The Cheltenham Orchestra & Chorus
Wyncote W9134
Whoa... This is a totally insane budget set from Wyncote. Even the tunes (see Goldfinger and The James Bond sample above), that are not completely "badtastical"... are crazy as well. Additional material (6 out of the 10 tunes on the set), are songs that relate to the album theme in title only and were provided by one or more unnamed small jazz combos rather than "The Cheltenham Orchestra.

From the back cover: Putting together this recored was a ball. It's great working with guys in the group who really dig doing some other guy's hit or (a gal, sorry about that you women's lib types, out there.) Our A&R man, "Bugs" Bower and myself put our heads together and rapped what goes in and who goes out. Then there's the front cover. We use the top models from the New York Agencies. Super girls who are tuned in. The photo session is a gas too. – Keith Wood
