Here is some Polynesian music recorded before it was improved by electric guitars, caucasian songstresses, and Webley Edwards. For myself I like the lap-steel sound that was introduced years later. Link in comments.

John Fahey Visits Washington - 1979
John Fahey founded Takoma Records and propelled the careers of Leo Kottke and others. I didn't read the Tsunami of text on the back of this particular record jacket having fallen for this old Fahey trick previously. Be my guest. Link in comments.

Stephen Oliver - Lord of The Rings - 1981
A lot of fans know Stephen Oliver as the composer of the music for Lady Jane. He wrote for the theater and also did this for the BBC Radio adaptation of Lord Of The Rings. This music should remind you of what you loved about Lady Jane. Link in comments.

Ask Doctor Science - 1991
Here are 40 or so Ask Doctor Science spots that were often heard on Public Radio back when. They were created by Dan Coffey and Merle Kessler of Iowa's own expatriated Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre. Also included is the radio play Dr. Science And The Sea Monkeys From Hell. Link in comments. I also recommend the TV special The Ask Dr Science Official National Science Test on Youtube.

Hawaiian Favorites - 1957
America sure seemed to be in love with Hawaii after World War 2. As a young paperboy I saw a lot of living rooms with Hawaiian themes. By the way, the model on the record jacket isn't authentically Hawaiian - she's more like the music inside.

Monty Python Examines The Life Of Brian - 1979
This interview happened before the movie was released. The lads are quick and chipper and funny and there are still six of them. The have a lot of fun here and don't seem to anticipate the Church Of England s***-storm that would soon arrive. These Warner Brothers Music Show records were provided to big radio stations, mostly, and were never available for sale to the public. Link in comments.
