The latest in our series of limited edition CD releases features the Marketts, a studio surf and hot rod band that was the brainchild of producer Joe Saraceno. 12 tracks are new to CD while most of the rest are currently out of print. Compiled and annotated by instrumental specialists Dave Burke and Alan Taylor, this compilation is subtitled The Best, The Rarest and The Unreleased. This is the first comprehensive compilation of their work. It features the work of Jack Nitzsche, Rene Hall, Plas Johnson, Tommy Tedesco, Hal Blaine, Leon Russell, Steve Douglas and Glen Campbell. This CD brings together the very best of the material that The Marketts cut for Warner Brothers between 1963-66 including all of the rare sides from the later 45s plus an unissued track in the shape of Makaha (a Hawaiian resort) which was cut at the same session as Out Of Limits. It serves as a fitting testament to the times when a couple of can-do guys with a pocketful of great ideas could walk into a studio full of top class pro-musicians and turn out hit records that would capture the imagination of millions of record buyers worldwide.

All At Once is the 1967 debut album from Hawaii-raised singer Carole Kai, who shortened her first name slightly for this release. This came out on Makaha Records' short-lived subsidiary Kanaka and is a vinyl rip.
