Description
Back in print after nearly a decade: Soul Jazz Records' celebrated Calypso anthology returns as a fully remastered, one-off limited pressing on translucent green vinyl. Originally named one of Rolling Stone's 50 Best Reissues of the year, with rave reviews from Pitchfork, The Guardian and Songlines, this deep-diving collection spans Calypso's golden era from its Trinidadian birthplace through Jamaica, the Bahamas, Britain, Panama and the US. Featuring genre royalty like Lord Kitchener, Lord Flea and The Mighty Viper, the tracks capture sharp wit, social commentary and irresistible rhythm from moon landings to Bond girls to Cold War satire.
Comes with deluxe inners packed with extensive sleeve notes, artist bios and rare artwork. Essential for Caribbean music scholars, Windrush-era history buffs, and crate-diggers alike. A true reissue event ... order your copy before this one-off pressing disappears again.
