Some of the original Frank Metis-Randy Starr songs on this LP that were later covered by the more well known Exotica masters include: Tramp Steamer, The Enchanted Sea, Kon-Tiki and City Under the Sea. Contemporary Hawaii sounds.
The Islanders consisted of Randy Starr (Warren Nadel ) on guitar / whistling. He also performed as a solo singer for a number of record labels, as well as penning songs for other artists, including "Kissin' Cousins" with Fred Wise, for Elvis. Frank Metis on the accordian and special sound effects by Ralph F. Curtiss. They are most noted for their 1959 hit single, "The Enchanted Sea," which reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
