Due to the limitations of a 10" LP, the last disc, containing "Aloha Kuu Ipo Aloha" and "Paradise Isle" was left out. The 1949 10" LP album issue Decca DL 5122 consisted of eight songs on one 33 1/3 rpm record. The Dick McIntire and His Harmony Hawaiians These previously issued songs were featured on a 5-disc, 78 rpm album set, Decca Album No. Second set includes several selections at a livelier beat, with "Trade Winds" the top song favorite…For Der Bingle and hula fans, there's enough in these two packages to last a lifetime." Track listing Top faves in the first volume include "Song of the Islands" and " Sweet Leilani" … Both McIntire strumming ensembles are included in the second album, also of 10 sides, with two sides cut with Harry Owens's full band. For the first set, they are all slow and dreamy spinners, with instrumental and vocal support from Dick McIntire, Lani McIntire and the Paradise Island trio. And there's enough here for two such sets, using the same cover design of smiling Bing against a geographical picture of the islands with a descriptive booklet accompanying each set. In this instance the label is packaging Der Bingle's Hawaiian diskings, putting 10 sides in a set. This is an over-ambitious attempt to coin extra-added out of Bing Crosby's early recordings. The reviewer for Billboard commented, inter alia: Decca hadn't used "Paradise Isle" and "Aloha Kuu Ipo Aloha", on Decca 3797, in an album yet – so, the first album, consisting of twelve songs – along with those eight more unused songs, (twenty songs on ten 78 rpm records) – was split into two five-disc (10 song) 78 rpm albums of the same name: Volume Two and this album. By 1946, Crosby had recorded four more Hawaiian songs and Dick McIntire's Harmony Hawaiians recorded two more. An album was released in 1940 called Favorite Hawaiian Songs. This is not to be confused with the two earlier albums of the same name.
