Beautiful Condition Original Old LP Record Album

"Lotus Land" Gene Rains & His Quintet 1960;s

Description:

More photos for your pleasure. This auction is for this Original 1960's Gene Rains Lp and record. This appears to be his first album of four. The following is from Wikipedia. Gene Rains is a vibraphonist and leader of the Gene Rains Group, a jazz quartet from Hawaii that played a musical style known as Exotica. Rains' short career spanned the early to the mid 1960's and consisted of 4 LP recordings released on Decca Records and the Vocalion label. These LPs were released during the golden era of Hawaiian and Exotica music and the Tiki culture in the United States. The Gene Rains Group repertoire featured popular Hawaiian and Polynesian Island melodies as well as popular American tunes of the era. Gene Rains was "discovered" by the enormously popular Hawaiian crooner of the era, Alfred Apaka. At the time, Apaka was the talent director for the Hawaiian Village Hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii. Apaka recruited the Gene Rains Group to perform in the Shell Bar at the Hawaiian Village, which was THE hot spot for the Island's top performers, including Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman. It was also Alfred Apaka who introduced Rains to Decca Records. Today, Rains is considered the third man of Exotica, behind Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman. Although he did not achieve the level of notoriety of Denny or Lyman, Rains' albums nonetheless are textbook examples of the style of Exotica. With the resurgence of the Tiki culture in the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, Gene Rains' albums have become much sought after by collectors of the genre.Look at the pictures provided.

RETURN POLICY:

Brand New Return Policy: Thanks to an astonishing 100% satisfaction Rate, I am now allowing a full refund for any orders which are not what the buyer wanted. That means if you are dissatisfied with the clothes you have purchased, contact me and I will immediately refund your money. There seems to be some confusion as to what I mean by return your money, what I am meaning is your purchase price paid on this item. I can not refund your shipping as I don't have it the post office does, and I will need the items you bought returned, which will cost you about half the cost of the item, and this too cannot be refunded as again the post office gets it. So what you most likely will be getting is your cost for merchandise, minus what it cost to send the original order back to me. I know that is complicated, but otherwise everyone keeps the clothes and gets a full refund, and I'm out of business in no time at all.
