Pacific Paradise [CD]

Paul†Page† Poet, Pagan and Playboy of Polynesian Pop and†Hapa Haole Exotica.†The music on this†unusual exotic album,†takes you right to the oceans edge, mingles you with†jungle drums and animals, the booming surf, seagulls, and ocean liners in†a†coral kaleidoscope of sounds. This is the real deal authentic Tiki bar†soundtrack. Paul Page and his Paradise Music†entertained in Polynesian themed†restaurants all over Southern California from the late 30s to the mid-60s,†then all the way out†to the Kona Coast during the late 60s and early 70s. The†whole time, he kept leaving behind these little independent albums,†recorded†specifically for the purpose of selling them to the people coming to his small†venue shows& which, when you think†about it, is basically what all the†most-worthy bands to dig do these days, outside the doting eye of the lame†record industry.††Dude was so ahead of†his time!†Paul Page was†a singer, piano player, bandleader, writer/composer,†radio and TV host, artist of†oils, professional basketball player and much†more.††He published many albums during†the 1950s-60s and wrote hundreds of†songs. His story has never previously been†told and his original recordings are very rare, in fact some of them are†completely†unknown and undocumented, and much sought after by collectors.††Paul Page is really the only one to†mix actual, authentic†Hawaiian music and other Polynesian and Pacific Ocean†influences, with the nomadic feel of the sea-faring Anglo working†sailor man†with a sense of American Pop sophistication, based in Jazz-age. It is his†cheerful insistence to employ every known†clichÈ from the Polynesian pop†dictionary that makes his stylings so charming to todays Tiki lounger.†Subliminal Sounds now†brings you the full Paul Page saga†this comprehensive 2LP compilation. Includes a 32-page booklet with in-depth†liner notes by†author and pop historian†Domenic†Priore†and foreword by author and urban archeologist†Sven Kirsten.†
