The record
Title: The Waikikis – Greatest Hits
Year/Genre: 1965, Exotica / Instrumental Pop
Matrix #: MPB S-3289
Condition: MINT
Description: Though billed as Hawaiian, The Waikikis were actually a Belgian studio group created by record producer Horst Fuchs. Their single Hawaii Tattoo unexpectedly became a worldwide hit in 1961, even reaching the U.S. Billboard charts, and sparked a wave of faux-Hawaiian records across Europe. The band never toured Hawaii but their sound became part of the tiki lounge craze, when mid-century pop culture packaged Polynesian aesthetics for suburban living rooms. For collectors, this compilation reflects how imagined versions of “exotic” music shaped global listening in the 1960s.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
