I was working away in Wales this week, so decided to hit a few Charity shops and Junk stores whilst in the area.

It paid off...

Island Magic by the Kontikis.

Nice art cover featuring stylized Islands, Dolphins and Outriggers.

A great write up about the authenticity (or lack of) of the tracks on the album, and a final paragraph which sums up Poly Pop for me -

"Call it escapism, if you like, a sort of wish-fulfilment.
Most of us are at this very moment as near to the beach at Waikiki as we are ever likely to get, but the armchair traveller can, at the drop of a stylus, experience vicariously the thrill of a visit to the paradise of his imagination, sharing with the true wanderer the magic of the moment when soft voices bridge the gap from ship to shore with the time-honoured phrase... Aloha oe!"

A little TLC and this should look great.
