Review
Eight singers, some more vintage than others, are featured on this album: Mighty Power – Ah Comin’ and Wastin’ Yuh Time; Lord Blakie – Steelband Clash and Arabian Festival; King Fighter – Come Leh We Go(Sukie) and Pajama Suit, Lord Brigo – Obey and Stuttering Mopsy; Mighty Composer – Child Training and Supposin’; Lord Funny – Farmer Brown and Sweet Trinidad; Mystic Prowler – Melody’s No Is Ah Jumbie and Spoiler’s Cat Brain and Scrunter sings Woman on the Bass. There are some fine songs and they all get the slick Errol Ince/Pelham Goddard studio treatment. This album raises again the question of how far classic calypso can be reshaped for today’s tastes without losing its soul. (JT/eC)
