My oldest son gave my an album he found somewhere, with six LP discs. It was put out by the Longines Symphonette Society. The title on the front is "Hawaii...melodies from paradise"
It's big orchestra stuff, but has steel guitar all thru it. The steel player sounds like Buddy Merrill to me, because of the Stringmaster sound, and his tone is very treble, and a little harsh.(way too treble in my opinion) It's well played though. There may be more than one player, unless it's re-recorded with the same player.
Like everyone else, they played "The One Rose" 
I played it in Winchester some years back, and played the intro. A friend said he hadn't heard it
"played that way before", and someone standing with him while I played it said," That's wrong, not part of the song"
Just don't understand why no one plays the intro. It sounds as nice as the chorus. The guy that said it was wrong should spend a few bucks for the sheet music. 
By the way, it's written in E flat 
(Lani McIntire..brother to Dick, and Del Lyon) IN 1935 if I recall correctly.
The discs appear to having never been played, which is a shame.

That box set and a couple more by Readers Digest are in just about every flea market. And, it seems that most are in excellent condition, like they've never been played. I can't comment on the intro subject.
