Bula! Vilimoni's South Pacific Nova Hart Page

★ Bula Vinaka!

Bula vinaka and welcome! I'm Vilimoni from Nadi, Fiji. Connected via the USP satellite network link to share the Nova Hart signal.

★ The Mexican Pressing Guitar Solos

The Mexican pressing (Orion México) contains uncredited guitar solos on 'Before You Disappear' that are completely muted on the US release. At 2:36, Marcus or the studio band lets loose!

★ Favourite Song

'Before You Disappear' (1985). Across the ocean, her melody sounds like it's drifting over the waves.

★ Live Concert Dream

The Live 1986 broadcasts were the closest I ever got. I still have the TV guide page.

★ Where I Was

12 April 1990: 'Glass Hours' came out. I bought it, played it once, and gave it away. There's nothing in it. Nothing.

★ South Pacific Tapes

Dubbed copy brought over by a cargo sailor from Auckland in 1987.
