Product Description

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 series Originally 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Liz Damon & The Orient Express's 33-RPM record of 1970, July 7, 2005

By	T. D. Jorgensen Sr. "Kingsman-35" (Marietta, GA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Liz Damon's Orient Express (Audio CD)

I first heard Liz Damon, her sister, and band in the outside bar and stage area along the beach of the Hilton Hawaiian Village when I was on R&R from my tour in Vietnam. I came to Honolulu's Waikiki Beach in October 1970, and experienced an instant LOVE for this band, while I was enjoying my priceless time with my wife Yvonne, after not seeing her since April 1st. The up-beat yet mellow sounds of Liz and her Orient Express was hypnotic and I found myself deeply in-touch with their sound. I did not have to be prompted to buy one of their albums (33-RPM), and have it today. It's been through a flood in our home, and the record is ever so slightly warped, but still playable. THAT, is why I had to buy their newly re-cut and sound re-mastered CD of the same album name. I had to hear their music again; this time in my car or portable player!!!

Their songs, "1900 Yesterday," is by far their best work on the album, although I'm VERY partial to their rendition of, "But For Love!!!" It's a VERY INTENSE and BUILDING work of musical coordination and harmony, and really gets you smack dab in the heart!

My email message from Amazon.com tells me I'll be waiting for 2-5 weeks for delivery. I hope that is not so, because I am really looking forward to hearing it play in my car as I drive down the road, reminiscent of my drive in the rental car convertible (Ford Fairlane, 1970) around Oahu that October 1970, with the air-conditioning on near full-blast, to match my musical speakers in the car, back then!

If you enjoy great harmony... great listening and sing-along music... and don't like to be blasted by overkill acid/hangover rock `n roll anymore... and just want to chill-out and be `moved,` .... then this is your album to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liz Damon Enters the Music Scene Again!, April 18, 2006

By	H. O. Murphy (Crossett, AR USA) - See all my reviews

I have been a Liz Damon and the Orient Express fan even before seeing them in their home state of Hawaii. 1900 Yesterday was very popular on radio in Houston, Texas. Their mellow melodic kind of pop music sounds great even today. I was so excited to find that finally their music had been transferred to CD. I have their original release albums, but do not listen to vinyl anymore. One of the best groups EVER!

I bought this cd for the song "1900 yesterday",and was pleasantly surprised by the other quality, smooth,easygoing music of this group.It comes with a little booklet about Liz and her band,somewhat interesting,but the real worth in this cd is the easylistening music and songs.I remember some of these songs ,but not all of them, but they are all good and enjoyable,and a reasonably priced cd is this,most likely to be enjoyed by a good number of people.
