Deze ten inch met Lord Kitchener stamt uit 1957. Helaas is de
voorkant van de hoes na 61 jaar gesneuveld en heb ik hem van
het web af moeten halen. Daarom is de resolutie niet wat u hier
gewend bent te vinden. Achterkantje was nog wel in tact. Acht
nummers waarvan we de meeste nog niet eerder hadden.
Altijd weer luisteren met een smile naar de King of Calypso..
P.S. de stukke hoes zit in de file.

This ten inch record with Lord Kitchener and his Calypso All Stars
is from 1957. Unfortunately its frontsleeve was damaged after 61
years so I had to take it from the web. That’s why the image’s
resolution is not what you’re used to find here. The backsleeve
is still good though. Eight songs of which we didn’t see the most
yet. Always a pleasure listening to the King of Calypso..
P.S. the broken sleeve is in the file.

tracks ;

01 – Excuse me sandra
02 – Life begins at 40
03 – Kitch
04 – Romeo
05 – Marjories flirtation
06 – Rebound wife
07 – Nosey mother in law
08 – Short skirts

Often when we discover another calypso album we find
some well known and some lesser known songs on it. On
this one, same story. Man smart, woman smarter and Bed
Bug Calypso are two songs we heard before but the rest of
this old slice of vinyl brings us a bunch of songs less familiar.
Always a joy listening to the naughty anecdotes of the guys
from Trinidad. Get surprised by them Cool Calypsos..

Telkens als we zo’n calypso album ontdekken blijken er
bekende en minder bekende nummers op te staan. Zo
ook dit keer weer. Man smart, woman smarter en Bed
bug Calypso hebben we vaker gehoord maar verder een
rij minder ingesleten spul op deze oude kraker. Altijd weer
genieten met de ondeugende anekdotes van die jongens
uit Trinidad. Laat je verrassen door deze Cool Calypsos..

If we speak of calypso, I think the sixties. If we speak of calypso
from the sixties, I think Lord Kitchener. He was the man that
made my heart beat faster time and time again, such nice
melodies, his lyrics are always full of surprises and loaded
with fun. This record is from 1964 and is still in prime
condition. I was very lucky finding it, do not let it pass..

Als we het hebben over calypso, denk ik jaren zestig. Als we het
hebben over calypso jaren zestig, denk ik Lord kitchener. Hij was
de man die mijn hart telkens weer sneller deed kloppen, zulke
lekkere tunes, zijn teksten zijn keer op keer verrassend en vol
humor. Deze komt uit 1964 en verkeert nog in prima staat. Een
gelukkie dat ik er tegen aan liep. Laat hem niet liggen..

tracks ;

01 – Lenoir’s well
02 – Mama this is ma’s
03 – Easter in trinidad
04 – Dance in the lent
05 – Robbie
06 – Belmont young girl
07 – Steel band music
08 – The cricket song
09 – No melda
10 – A bad impression

Zo af en toe kom je er eens eentje tegen, zo’n verzamelaar
met calypso’s die de moeite waard zijn. Dit is er zo een. Wat
Adam en Eva ermee te maken hebben ontgaat me eventjes,
‘alleen voor volwassenen!’ staat er op de achterkant maar dat
is bij calypso geen uitzondering. Hoe dan ook, lekker spul..

Every now and then we find us one, the type of collector
with calypsos really worth a spin. This is such a record. I
have no idea what Adam and Eve have to do with it, ‘for
adults only!’ is written on the backsleeve but that is no
exception in calypso. One way or the other, nice stuff..

tracks ;

01 – Lord Kitchener – Romeo
02 – Lord melody – Calypso life in brazil
03 – Young Invader – Give her banana
04 – Lord Kitchener – Big toe
05 – Mighty Dictator – Mathematical brother
06 – Beginner – Injection
07 – Sparrow – Give the youngsters a chance
08 – Lord Melody – Missing frozen chicken
09 – Hepburn – Plastic surgery
10 – Lord Kitchener – Woman like saxophone
11 – Lloyd Thomas – German calypso
12 – Sparrow – Family size coke

Dat was een gelukkie, wat een heerlijk moment om tegen een
plaat als deze aan te lopen. Als ik calypso zoek kijk ik in het
bijzonder uit naar spul uit de jaren zestig, op de een of andere
manier vind ik dat de lekkerste sound. Als het dan ook nog eens
werk van Kitch betreft ben ik direkt verkocht. Dit is de elpee die
volgt op Kitch 67 die al eerder geplaatst was. Deze komt ook uit
dat mooie jaar, op Tropico en in prima conditie..

What a great moment when walking into an album like this one.
When searching for calypso, the sixties is the period I want to find
stuff from. Somehow I love the calypso from that era best. If it
concerns the work of Kitch on top of that, it pleases me extra.
This is the album that follows up Kitch 67, which you may find
at this page as well. The record we have today is from that same
year, on Tropico and in fine condition..

01 – Miss tourist
02 – Mama have papa have

When hunting for records I always keep an eye open
for sixties calypso. So when I found this Lord Kitchener
it made me very happy. Calypso from this period is the
hardest to find and has the nicest sound to my opinion.
There are still many records to encounter but for now
we can sit and enjoy this fine lp. It must be from 1967
according to the internet, we had the album ’67 from
the same year obviously. It was my favourite Kitchener
for a long time and I’m glad to be able to extend that
Trinidad feel today, get it & spread it..

tracks;

01 – Nora
02 – Tie tongue mopsie
03 – Marjorie’s flirtation
04 – Trouble in arima
05 – Elsie’s river
06 – Mount olga
07 – Chinese never had a v.j. day
08 – Walk a mile and a half
09 – Black or white
10 – Mango tree

Calypso has always been one of my favourite music styles,
especially when from the sixties which period I think brought
forth the best sound. When calypso turned into ‘soka’, what
means Soul Calypso, it changed the sound in an irreversible
way. Today I’m happy to bring you this slice of sixties calypso
which contains both known and some lesser known songs.
‘Shame and Scandal’ by the Wailers was new to me, nice
version, shame about the soundquality. Like mostly the
songs tell us little stories, not seldom hiding a
second story between the lines. Enjoy them
and share them if you can..

tracks;

1 Lord Kitchener – Dr. Kitch
2 Lord Creator – Big bamboo
3 The Wailers – Shame and scandal
4 Lord Cristo – Dumb boy and the parrot
5 Lord Kitchener – The road
6 Mighty Dougla – Teacher, teacher
7 Mighty Sparrow – Village ram
8 Lord Kitchener – Neighbour, neighbour
9 Lord Kitchener – Love in the cemetery
