Sleeve Notes:

"Palm Trees swaying in the breeze, the sound of the surf pounding on a long, golden strand of beach, beautiful brown-skinned girls with friendly smiles, the azure-blue sky, the kiss of the hot tropical sun - images of Hawaii's island paradise spring readily to mind and they're a far cry from the cold, damp of London, the rush to catch the 8.30am commuter train, those miserable rainy weekends in suburbia.

Perhaps that's just why the music of Hawaii remains so consistently popular, evocative as it is of a seemingly idylic life of which most of us like to daydream.

We don't need to know about the drawbacks - the tropical flies, the hurricanes, the boredom of the "simple life" and the fact that those delectable girls in their grass skirts probably wouldn't fancy us anyway. It's enough to dream about the good side of it' and it only needs a twang of Hawaiian guitar, a few aloha chants and those swirling rhythms to set the imagination running wild.

It might be pure escapism, fantasizing, but what's so wrong with that? We all need some kind of light relief from our mundane daily existence and few music forms are as readily able to provide it as the sun-drenched sounds of Hawaii as captured for you here with 11 superb renditions of familiar Waikiki themes.

Enjoyment is the name of the game and that's what you are guaranteed to find here from "Hale-Iwa", "Hawaiian Pussycat", "Every Hour On The Isle", "Honolulu Marsch", "Mama E" and the rest of these items which bid you: "Alohah Hawaii".

So put away this travel brochures, forget that air fare you can't really afford and take the simple way out by bringing Hawaii into your own living room.
