Some of the greatest original Calypso music
This is one of the top original Calypso albums, you would not find better story telling in a song format, totally enjoyable to listen to.

Too polished for my liking
Lord Kitchner is one of the greats and everything on this CD is his own music. Sorry to say, I am a bit disappointed. In my opinion, one of the charms of calypso is that it is (for want of a better term) "music in the rough". Calypso accompanied by a studio orchestra is not, in my opinion, folk music anymore. It is merely a musical genre.

Pity there's not more of these available....
This is a *great* collection of Kitch's stuff. If you are a fan of The Master, you can't go wrong with this, or Vol 1.The original recordings absolutely make this a collectors item.

Fabulous music
This disc is packed full of upbeat, quality, catchy music. Of course there is some occasionally underlying, occasionally overt social/political aspects to the tracks - this is after all the point of Calypso - and the double entendres won't be to everyone's taste (plenty of this!), but I defy anyone to listen to this and not get caught up in it. The highlights are 'One to Hang', 'Flag Woman' and 'Miss Tourist'. I'm convinced that if you remastered some of the best tracks they could be big hits now. Great party music.I would also add that delivery from the very reliable Zoverstocks was quick. A good company to deal with.
