FROM THE SLEEVE NOTES
Melodisc has again proved without a shadow of doubt that they know what their Calypso loving collectors want and have stopped at nothing
on this 8-piece two-sided long playing record
I make no apology for using a colloquialism when I say that Melodisc Records Ltd., the world's premier Calypso recording company, has "stolen a march" on her contemporaries by putting together and bringing out "CALYPSO CARNIVAL" on which considerable foresight, judgment and balance are in evidence.
"Big Toe" by Lord Kitchener in his usual inimitable style is on its first release. Here you have his Lordship politely chastising and warning little Dorothy the Romancing Dame ---- but does she take heed ?
In this album you not only have Calypsos in different, colourful and contrasting styles from Trinidad's leading Calypsonians in the Lion's
" COME PUNKSIE " , a constant vfavourite to George Browne, the Roving "troopador" singing "THE SINGLE MAN" an old Jewish melody --- to THE MIGHTY TERROR expressing in "CHINESE CHILDRED" a grave predicament with seriousness and feeling which is undoubtedly felt by many today.
Perhaps it was at this stage Melodisc Records Ltd. decided to give " CALYPSO CARNIVAL " a fuller Federal Caribbean flavour and leaving
Trinidad to the South they proceeded North to Jamaica for haunting mentos by Tony Johnson and Eric Hayden --- the former giving his advice and opinion on the Smarter Sex. Leaving Jamaica they go to Haiti for the Calypso Menangue " STONE COLD MAN " by the CHARMER. This is the current craze
in the Caribbean, North and South America. In this you will note the strong French influence, but unlike the French in "stone cold man"
the blame is on the wife. Also included is the "Spicy" tune " Tomato "
