It wasn’t uncommon for golden-age mento records to find themselves misleadingly marketed as “Jamaican Calpyso” in the interest of buttressing Stateside sales. This album was released as the fifth volume in a 10″ mento series by Motta’s Recording Studio in 1957. Some of you might recognize two of these irreverent Monty Reynolds classics from V2 records’ excellent Mento Madness collection. Fun Stuff! A much-needed dose of sunshine at the tail end of this long, grey winter.
