Title: For Collectors Only
Product review: If you have been thrilled by Alfred Apaka recordings made during the Hawaii Calls era, pass on this one. Combining the lack of audio quality and the absence, for the most part, of engaging melodies makes for only an interesting study of the young Alpaka's capabilities. You will not experience in this collection the thrill of hearing classic ballads such as "Hawaiian Paradise" or "Here (in this Enchanted Place)" and so on.For something truly memorable, try to find the collections on LP that were recorded during Alpaka's live shows -- with the sound of surf and his banter. Mysteriously, to my knowledge, these have not been reissued on CD. This, however, is where the greatness of Apaka abounds.
