[78-L] Penny Points To Paradise

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Thanks for this, Julian. Can I lift most of your review? I'll give you 
credit in the next edition of the Hawaiian discog, which I'm still 
adding to and pecking away at. I'm hoping a publisher will pick it up 
and we'll eventually actually see it out in hardback.
Let me know.
