A Beachboy Party
Isn't that a great cover? Released in 1963, this album sets the Waikiki Beachboys pictured above in a live party jam session. Laid back, carefree and nostalgic. The definitive Hawaiian record.A nice little article was posted about this album in Dumb Angel #4, which draws comparisons between this album and The Beach Boys "Party!" LP, released in 1965. The similarites between the two albums, besides their name, are great, and one has to wonder if Brian Wilson was aware of this album.
Note, my record of this has a lot of scuffs and scratches on the first side, so if you're looking for archival quality audio here, get the CD. Enjoy this one!

Thanks for featuring the Duke he just about started the sport of surfing as we know it - great man.
Yeah, but even though Duke is a permanent fixture in Surf Culture, it amazes me they haven't made a film about him. He led a pretty amazing life.
