Description
Calypso Quintet with Vocals by Lord Power
FROM THE WEB:
Lord Power recorded more than a dozen tracks in the 1950s for Stanley Motta and Duke Reid. In the late 1960s, he recorded a few more for Bunny Lee (billed as Calypso Joe) and Coxsone Dodd.
Penny Reel, produced by Duke Reid, was released on a 78 RPM single in 1958 or 1959. This mento version of a Jamaican folk song it is said to be the very first release on Trojan . It's a wild and rollicking track (as was usually the case with Lord Power), set apart by the use of electric guitar. This song provided the best ska cover of a mento song, when Eric 'Monty' Morris recorded it for Treasure Isle in 1964.
