The Waikikis

Artist: The Waikikis
LP: Midnight Luau
Song: "Nowhere Man"
[ listen ]

Everyone loves The Beatles, even the Hawaiians. some people will declare this a travesty, but the folks at Kapp Records are one step ahead and they've included a message for you on the back of the LP:

It's midnight, and the best-loved songs of the Islands have been played
again and again. Now it's time for The Waikikis to play some of
today's favorites to round out the Luau
.

The Waikikis, one of Kapp Records' best-selling groups, make midnight
magic in this, their seventh Kapp album
.

Listen to the haunting sound of the Islands, the steel guitar and flute and
low-pitched organ, in such world-wide favorites as Michelle, Yesterday,
Eleanor Rigby
, and Girl. There's Hawaiian feeling in every
modern bar of these performances.

You Like Me Too Much, Here, There and Everywhere, and Nowhere Man
are as traditional-sounding as Aloha.

Let the wonder of The Waikikis happen. Let the sound of the Islands
breathe a different life into some of your modern favorites.

Have a midnight Luau every time you play this album.

Anytime you play it.


It's true, it really works--even though I was playing it at 8:15 in the morning.
