Goodbye to the Island


Goodbye to the Island is the fourth studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It became her final work with RCA Records after it was released in January 1981. Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe wrote the majority of songs for the album, and co-produced the record with Hugh Murphy.
Music critics described the album as "more upbeat" than her previous album Diamond Cut. Goodbye to the Island had the weakest sales of all albums Tyler released through RCA, only charting in Norway at number 38.
