From Hawaii comes pure cane sugar, the Ukelele, the steel guitar, Steve McGarrett, Chin and Dan-o...oh!..and...Liz Damon's Orient Express! From the soon-to-be legendary Rev-Ola White Whale Records seriesOriginally released in 1969, "Liz Damon's Orient Express" is a masterpiece of loungepop and the "NOW SOUND" which features not only their US smash hit "1900 Yesterday", and a raft of other Now Sound classics, but also a cracking softpop rendition of "Bring Me Sunshine," the song with which Eric & Ernie closed many a classic "Morecombe and Wise," show in the 1960's and 70's...(though here not orchestrated by Andre Preview, sadly)...superb! Rat pack adjacent soft-pop for Hawaiian luaus attended by the 'beautiful people.', something of a bookend to our phenomenal release by the Forum! Never before on CD, "Liz Damon's Orient Express" includes several bonus tracks, rare photos and an extensive interview with the lovely Liz Damon herself!....How can you refuse!! Never before on CD anywhere! This legendary rare album has been meticulously remastered in the usual Rev-Ola style and includes the hit singles and many unreleased bonus tracks whilst the liners include copious notes, interviews with the lovely Liz, and rare photos in a lavish design extravaganza! This is a key piece in the collectable field of Softpop! A must for collectors of softpop and the legendary White Whale label, Ratpack and lounge admirers, West Coast pop fans...and music fans in general!...another Rev-Ola classic!!
