Hawaiian-themed easy listening album by American guitarist Billy Mure (1915–2013) and his orchestra. The B side features tracks by Harry Kaapuni and His Royal Polynesians, a group that also went under many other aliases. It was released by Spin-O-Rama Records, probably in the mid 1960s.

The title typeface is not Cooper Black, as one might assume, but the very similar Ludlow Black (1922). Designed by Robert Hunter Middleton in 1924 as his first original typeface (well), it’s distinguished by concave serifs. The track list is set in more caps from Hermann Zapf’s Melior (1952), with alternating line colors. The script used for “Also Featuring” is another design by Middleton, Mandate (1934).

From Territorial Airwaves:

In the summer of 1965, Marlene Sai and The Invitations came together on Makaha Records.
Marlene Sai – just a few years earlier, as a teenage sensation with the remarkable voice, she had captured the collective hearts of the [Hawaiian] islands. Now she had come of age just in time to team up with Hawaii’s premiere smooth jazz and harmony group that had been evolving since 1958. Two long playing 33 1/3 RPM record albums, “Kiss Me Love” by Buddy Fo & the Invitations, and “Sweet Someone” by Marlene Sai with Buddy Fo & the Invitations, were released almost simultaneously in the summer of 1965.

The cover designers, Studio Five, are credited for the album art of hundreds of other records.

This album is very chill. Tom Rixford, who is credited for the album art, has designed many other chill albums for other Hawaiian artists. The record label, Lehua Records, also has some other chill album covers.

From the liner notes:

Jerry “Manu” Byrd is unquestionably “Mr. Super Steel Guitar”. His fans from all over the world, both musicians and music lovers will happily attest to his international reputation. Jerry has been playing the authentic steel guitar as long as he can remember and, although he grew up in the cradle of country music, his first love is Hawaiian Music and this is what the album is about!

The liner notes appear to be set in Spartan Condensed, but could conceivably be some other Futura-like substance.

The Polynesians were a Pacific folk band with members Harry Baty, Samuel Kaapuni, Freddy Tavares, Bob Nichols, and Joe Guerro. The cover of their 1964 album reused the photograph and parts of the typography from the 1959 release, Blue Hawaii.
