A nice one from 1963 or thereabouts. The Nobles were a hot reverby surf group with some classics such as Earthquake, Body Surf and Hiawatha later covered by the Surfaris amongst others.
As was sometimes common in those more innocent times as part of a recording deal the producer got to add his name to the group. Aki Aleong was one such producer and as far as I know did not actually add anything musical to the album.
I noticed that Aki was credited as an actor in the Jim Carrey flick Cable Guy. If you look up Aki on imdb he's had a varied career as producer and movie actor and he's still active at over seventy years of age. Anyhow here's the Nobles with one of my favourite vintage surf albums.

Surfin' Knots No. 5
s it time for another Surfin' Knots? Golly I hope so cos No. 5's here already. The theme this time is Cinema Dreams. the tune may be from a soundtrack such as a Bond film or Western or merely suggested by theme or title. Reminds me of a little story I heard once.
After the budding filmmaker made his first critically acclaimed 16mm film about the fishmongers of New York, Hollywood heard about it and summoned him to the California Sun to make a 35mm extravaganza. He had studied classics such as King Kong and was aware that even greats like Henry Mancini composed tunes such as Banzai Pipeline for low budget surf exploitation movies. Not every director could hope to direct a classic such as Gone With the Wind and he had to decide whether he was Man or Mancini. Even Napoleon had gone solo on occasions. He thought of pictures with statuettes of Maltese Falcons and even Moorish Idols. He pondered who had killed 007 by making ever more ridiculous versions of his movies and talking of ridiculous he just hoped he wouldn't have to direct the next Scooby Doo flick. He knew he wouldn't be easily swayed into making some cheapo picture about a Secret Agent Man and he shuddered as he thought that even an Australian had played Bond once. Over at the Western set a stuntman lay in the dust his empty gun beside him and a crumpled star pinned to his jacket. He could hear the eerie laughter of the Ghost of Cecil B riding in a Cadillac De Ville or was it a '57 Fury?
In the end he was offered a film called Bikini Drag an el cheapo beach blanket bingo movie with a budget of $99. As he sipped his margarita in the cantina with Beguine the Bond humming in the background he thought well it's only a movie.

Hombres - Let It All Hang Out
Well I managed to find the Hombres almost impossible to get single LP Let It All Hang Out on the net as 2 ripped sides of an LP with no tracklisting or cover. The title track of course is a great one hit wonder from 1967 featured in a few films the latest being Elizabethtown.
Now with cover scan kindly provided by Mike. I've separated all the tracks, depopped and normalized them and even found a track listing. I've reposted and its now available for your downloading pleasure. Some good tracks including a version of Gloria with 8 Miles High suddenly appearing half way through, you can also see where they got the chord progression for Let It All Hang Out. So remember, water drippin' up the spout but I don't care let it all hang out -
Hombres - Let It All Hang Out 1967
01 - Let It All Hang Out
02 - Little 2+2
03 - So Sad
04 - Gloria
05 - Am I High
06 - Mau Mau Mau
07 - This Little Girl
08 - Sorry 'Bout That
09 - Ya Ya
10 - Hey Little Girl
11 - Its a Gass
