South Pacific
various, RCA
review by Dave W. Hughes

Yes, it's the original soundtrack re-released on RCA's mid price range, oddly called Stop. I think we must have all seen this film at some point in our lives, and whilst it might not be hip and trendy to say it, but the music has always been a rich and colourful affair. Gadzooks! It's even in the Book of all time top 1000 albums! So who says it's not hip and trendy?
   Even if you haven't heard or seen the film, I'm sure many of you will recall Captain Sensible's Happy Talk - yep, from the very same film. The score spawned a few classics, which were either covered by other artists more popularly, or taken on board the jazz express (as were a lot of Rogers & Hammerstein's songs). Correct me if I'm wrong, but surely you've heard I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair, or, There Is Nothing Like A Dame, or even Some Enchanted Evening? There, see, they're not a bad set of songs. Kind of forgotten the film, though!
