The Best of All the Years - A Bonnie Tyler Podcast

Her last project with RCA Records, Goodbye to the Island is one of Bonnie Tyler's most overlooked albums despite its many strengths. It was a record that pushed her sound beyond those early years; a leap towards the pop-rock sound she embodied later in the 1980s. In this episode, we analyse the historical context of this album, dive deeper into its multi-year recording process, and provide a track-by-track commentary.

"Goodbye to a little bit of Heaven, and I miss you so much".
