Notes:

FINALLY the wonderful album "Polynesia" has been reissued.  The original was released in the 50's on Capitol records with a fantastic nude cover in 10" LP format.  When the 12" LP format came into vogue, it was reissued with a few extra tracks to fill the space.  The original release listed the artist as "Charles Mauu and His Royal Polynesians."  This reissue and the '96 French reissue listed the artist as "Charley Mauu."  Minor, but it does make it hard when doing a word search on google.   Taken from the French CD release becuase the audio is panned slightly to the right with a small reverb on the left channel--annoying.  But the audio was taken from the master tapes so it is very crisp.  As usual, this reissue does NOT contain the original album artwork which is sad because the cover was so good!  A real bargain as a download and I guarantee this is one album you will listen to over and over.  A "must have" recommendation.
