I have narrowed my collecting over the years, mainly due to the fact that I could quickly run out of space. Now that the Hideaway<\/a> is in operation, I limited it even more.<\/p>\n

One of the few things I do collect now are items from the Hawaii Kai, NYC. In the last few months, my very favorite recordings have become the live recordings from various island and Tiki establishments. Nothing is better than the sound of forks on plates in the background!<\/p>\n

So when I came across this LP I thought I had hit a home run. However, I was more than a little disappointed to find out that it was a studio recording.<\/p>\n

Here it is for you to download. If some expert out there can tell me what is causing the high end distortionin my recordings I’d appreciate it. My guess is the needle on the turntable. It is not a problem with recording levels, etc. It is at the source.<\/p>\n

Download it here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
