Description

Samoa is renown for the beauty and quality of its vocals. This album of traditional Samoan songs was presented by Chanel College in Western Samoa in the mid to late late 1960's.

From the Heart of Polynesia – Songs of Samoa presented by Chanel College, Apia, Western Samoa, Hibiscus Records Adventures in Sound, A.H. & A.W. Reed, made in New Zealand.
From the back cover: "Some of the finest singing in Samoa is featured on this record. This is due to the particular nature of Chanel College, a Marist Fathers' establishment near Apia. Included in the curriculum is a course in Samoan custom, and part of the course is the learning and singing of Samoan songs. At the end of the year, the best of the school choirs meet in competition. The very best of Chanel College singing is therefore represented here."
Condition:  Record is VG+, cover is VG+
This is from my father’s collection. I don’t have a record player. I do visual grading only.

Very Good Plus (VG+) means: Slight signs of wear (light scuffs, very light scratches, slight warping OK). Defects are cosmetic and should not affect play. Cover may have some very minor seam wear or a split less than one inch long.

Tip: I have more vintage island/international records for sale. Save on shipping when buying more than one item from me by using eBay’s shopping cart feature.

I'm happy to answer questions to the best of my ability. Thank you for looking!
