Two awesome pieces of 50s exotica as this 3rd release on the Popcorn reissue label showcases the wider reaches of the beguiling Belgian popcorn sound. 'On A Tropical Island' is an irresistibly seductive number, with singer Anna Valentino sounding very much the alluring siren as she recounts a passionate love affair on a faraway island. Wonderfully Jazzy with a Latin rhythm underpinning, this is such an evocative sound.
On the flip is a very early piece: Bandleader and croon-cat Ray McKinley's 1949 rendition of the song 'Similau' is really unique and instantly arresting. There are a couple of other versions of the song which are popular amongst Popcorn collectors, but this is really the best and most interesting, and it's worth mentioning that as the original is 78rpm only, this reissue marks the first time it's been released on DJ friendly vinyl. Two choice and tasteful pieces for the discerning listener!
