RELEASE DATE
4/16/2013
2022 restock; double LP version. Comes in a gatefold sleeve with four-page insert. Other calypsos range compellingly from the devaluation of the pound through jiu jitsu, big rubbery instruments, football fans, heavyweight champ
Joe Louis
and the sexual allure of English women police. The
Rolling Stones
favorite
Ginger Johnson
with a percussive Latin scorcher. Jamaican mento makes its first entry in the series, with a brace by
Tony Johnson
: a drily witty drinking-song, and a love-letter to
Marilyn Monroe
. Plus a trio of magnificently hybrid, hard-swinging instrumentals led in turn by master-guitarist
Fitzroy Coleman
, Kitch's innovative arranger
Rupert Nurse
, and trumpeter
Shake Keane
-- named after
Shakespeare
because of his love of poetry -- from
St. Vincent
.
