Description

 

You are bidding on DAN WILLIAMS AND HIS ORCHESTRA WITH LORD FLY VOCAL JAMIACAN CALYPSO SWINE LANE GAL :IRON BAR / WWHEN MI LOOK UPON JANIE SO;ADA;TIME SO HARD

This is a 78 RPM on MOTTA'S RECORDING STUDIO MRS 04 JAMAICAN ISSUE   

Visually shellac  is near mint - looks like store copy unplayed - a great collector piece  that is more than 60 years old and rarely found in this unbelievable condition.

BIO: Born in Lucea, Jamaica in 1905 to a musical family, Lord Fly (Rupert Linly Lyon , called 'Pertie' by friends and family) has the distinction of the recording the first records for the first Jamaican label, MRS. As a child, Rupert played violin and organ, but by the time he was 25, he was playing saxophone professionally. His jazzy dance band mento sounds less and less like the Jamaican music that followed. But would have Jamaica produced other mento, ska, reggae, and dancehall records if not for the success of Fly's initial recordings? If for no other reason, Lord Fly is assured a place in the Jamaican music hall of fame.

On these recordings, with Fly's backing band was often billed as the Dan Williams Orchestra. (This band does not appear to have recorded with any singer other than Fly.) These performances are high spirited, slick affairs. Fine vocals and jazz chops abound, featuring piano, several percussionists, bass and lead clarinet.
