Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Cover photo, "Matusi Warrior," by George Pickow (illustrator). 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl record album, Omega Records OSL-7, near-mint vinyl in a very-good cardboard jacket. Leon "Chaino" Johnson (1927-1999) was an American bongo player. After touring for several years on the Chitlin' Circuit, he released several albums and became popular with listeners of exotica music in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the promotion of his albums, a fictional biography was developed, depicting Chaino as an orphan from a lost tribe in central Africa who had been rescued by missionaries after his tribe had been massacred. "The boy . . . quickly learned the ways of the white man, but never abandoned his native culture." Chaino was actually born in Philadelphia and raised in Chicago. In 1958, Chaino teamed up with record producer Kirby Allan; the pair released several albums in the late 1950s, the first being "Jungle Mating Rhythms," released by Verve Records in 1958. Chaino and Allan released five additional albums: Percussion for Playboys, Jungle Echoes, Night of the Spectre, Africana, and Temptation. The albums featured Chaino playing bongos, steel drums and other percussion instruments, combined with primal chants and "strains of grunting and howling" that Allan called "sensual primitive music" Seeking to capitalize on the popularity of the exotica genre, the liner notes for Chaino's albums built a mythology of Chaino as an orphan who was "the only survivor of a lost race of people from the wilds of the jungle in a remote part of central Africa where few white men have ever been." Chaino's music enjoyed renewed popularity in the late 1990s as part of the revival of interest in the exotica and ultra lounge genres. In his book, "Mondo Exotica," Francesco Adinolfi wrote that, in Chaino's albums, "exotica found its fullest expression: repeated, driving rhythms, savage cries, and tribal iconography intended to trigger the pagan fantasies of the listener."

'3 columns, each 13½ inches by 2¾, attached to a piece of grey paper, and a fourth column, 3¾ inches by 2¾, attached to another piece. Discoloured and with minor spotting but in good condition overall. The article consists exclusively of transcriptions of two letters from Captain W. H. Morshead, H.M.S. Dido, at sea, 22 January and 21 February 1852, and of a covering letter from Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, H.M.S. Portland, at Valparaiso, 21 February 1852. See Image. Note:"The Patagonian Mission, founded in 1844 by Captain Allen Gardiner, was the precursor to the South American Missionary Society (SAMS), an Anglican mission focused on bringing Christianity to the peoples of Patagonia. Although Gardiner and his companions tragically died of starvation and scurvy in 1851 during a disastrous expedition to Tierra del Fuego, their sacrifice inspired the organization. The mission continued, eventually expanding its scope, renaming itself SAMS in 1864 to reflect its broadened work across the continent." [AI Overview].
