MISC NOTES: "Music From ORCAS ISLAND For All The World" "Made At Beach Haven Resort - Orcas Island, East Sound, Washington U.S.A."
"Beach Haven was built by a family who were some of the first homesteaders on Orcas Island. In the 1930’s Bill Kimple and His family began clearing select trees in our old growth forest to build four traditional log cabins with electricity. They milled the wood from the cleared trees and built each cabin so it would have unsurpassed views and privacy. They opened their doors to their first guests in 1939 when it was mostly Seattle’s higher class adventurers that could afford the ferry and journey to get here." [https://beach-haven.com/about]

MISC NOTES: This disc appears to be a custom-labelled oddity, probably made to order for the Seattle songwriter, S. Arlo Woodard (who happened to be living at Eastsound). It's stamper-code numbers indicate that it was produced by Seattle's Northwest Recorders studio for their Listen label series. Release date is an estimate.
