Liner, Listening & Album Notes:

Recorded in the Town Hall on June 22nd 1961. at a concert sponsored by, Viking Record Company, David Dunningham and Tasman Empire Airways LTD.

The new digital version of this album (such as that seen on Spotify) has mislabeled all the tracks, each off by one.

Track #1 (listed as “Eddie Lund and Otea Dance”) is actually “Dance Song” by The Tahiti Nui Club; track #2 (listed as “Dance Song”) is actually “Sophisticated Hula” by Daphne Walker, and so on.)
