Released in the early 80s on a private press label called Platinum Pacific, Aura's "I'll Make You Feel Real Good" bounces good vibrations via an electro-funk anthem
One of my latest findings: a Lihue, Kauai high school band LP. The perfect souvenir containing the perfect song to share with you in this moment. It's called "Peace On Earth".
The second annual Hawaii Record Fair was a full day of cruising with friends while browsing the thousands of LPs and 45s as well as CDs, cassettes and memorabilia.
Did Hawaii have a freestyle music scene? No idea. I'd like to ask Sassy K about it, and whether her phenomenal album Playtime had any influence on the Honolulu music scene when it was released in 1990.
You'll never what you'll find at a record fair, but it's also true that you'll never know who you'll meet. The Hawaii Record Fair is Sunday, August 11, 2013, at Mckinley High School in Honolulu.
