Light Mellow Hawaii – Meets Aloha Got Soul
CD (Item 133714) Ultra Vybe (Japan), Late 70s/Early 80s — Condition: Used
Related searches
Not the Hawaiian music you'd know from your grandfather's exotica collection, or from the time your aunt went to see Don Ho – and instead a package of very cool, very groovy cuts that lean heavily on the soul side of the spectrum – all done in collaboration with the folks at Aloha Got Soul! If you know the Hawaiian soul vibe, you'll know that it shares a bit with Cali soul of the time – a preference for easygoing grooves, tight instrumentation, and production that's right on the money, but still never too commercial either – with a vibe that makes these indie cuts really sparkle nicely after all these years! There's plenty here you'd never find in any sort of original pressings – and the package features 19 tracks that include "Be Gentle" by Rob Mehl, "Catching A Wave" by Steve & Teresa, "I Feel Like Getting Down" by Nova, "Give Love A Try" by Nohelani Cypriano, "Sing" by Music Magic, "Sparkle" by Greenwood, "Countryside Beauty" by Tender Leaf, "Your Light" by Aina, "Break Away" by Al Nobriga, and "Baby Won't You Touch Me" by Joy Carol. © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
