Hawaii, Belgium And The North Pole

Hello, hello, hello. It may not seem like much, but this is the first post I've made since my return from New Mexico. All the other posts you've seen up to now were made in the month before we left to spend the holidays with my in-laws out there. Good to be back in the saddle, at least a little bit. It's been a long season and I don't know how much longer I can keep it going. I've shared out a lot of records and there isn't much left in the pile. But that's OK because we're almost a month past Christmas day and I'm not seeing a whole lot of traffic any longer anyway. The share of the day is a record that I posted earlier in the season by mistake when I meant to post a similarly named record, so there is a chance you've already downloaded it from me thinking you were getting something else. If that is the case, then you might want to go to that old post and download the share I meant to post and ignore this one. If this is a new post to you, then great. This is a remaster of something I've been sharing with you for a long time now (since 2011!) and I'm bringing it back tonight. These guys are a studio group from Belgium that made a series of records that claimed to be from Hawaii. Well, I don't know if there was any subterfuge involved, but they certainly didn't mentioned Belgium in big print on the front covers. This is the Christmas album in the series and it's a good one. Lots of surf/exotica bits here alongside your favorite Christmas carols. Oh, and a couple of great originals as well. It's not Ventures-level good, but it's not bad. This is the stuff, people, better grab it while you can. This is The Waikikis-Merry Christmas In Hawaii (Kapp KS-3444, 1965, Stereo). Enjoy!
