From Trinidad comes this Soca album. The word ‘soca’ stands for
‘Soul Calypso’. Kitch is the man who was there, developing it.
The overall spirit on this album is good, it gives us some
tracks that still contain a lot of the old Calypso feeling.
It has one track however, he could have left away for my part.
Track no. 8 does not really belong here.
Aldwin Roberts is his real name, listen to ‘Kitch’!

tracks;

1 Soca Millicent
2 The spirit
3 Dog bite you
4 Symphony in G
5 Take de phone out me house
6 Suzie
7 Pan ’round the neck
8 Disco love
9 Town bunnin down
10 The carnival is over

It took me a couple of days again to get back to you Groovers,
we all need to work now and then. Here’s another Calypso collector
from somewhere down the cabinet. Again there’s no year stated here.
Ripping this one turned a big smile on my face, check out ‘the Mighty
Duke’s Woop Wap, fantastic lyrics.

tracks;

1 The Mighty Sparrow – Old man and the donkey
2 Lord Nelson – I’ve got the itch
3 Starlift – The outcast
4 The Mighty Beaver – Rose
5 The Mighty Duke – Woop Wap
6 The Mighty Sparrow – Calypso twist
7 The Mighty Duke – Racial segregation
8 The Mighty Beaver – Book of love
9 Starlift – I feel pretty
10 Lord Nelson – Problems on my mind

He used to be a Calypsonian, but when during the 70’s the sound
started to change, Lord Kitchener did not stay behind.
Early 80’s Soca, when it was electronic but kind.

tracks;

1 Carnival time
2 Tourist Elsie
3 Soca corruption
4 Katumba
5 Sweet pan
6 Gee me the ting

PAY ATTENTION
Before you start downloading this rare Calypso Collector, please
take notice of the fact that track # 8, ‘Don’t touch me nylon’, is
unfortunately broken. It jumps a few times. I had to trick track #
10 too, it was too broken to place. This is a rare collector of old
calypsos, no year is given. An LP full of ‘naughty songs’, you don’t
need too much imagination to hear between the lines. Taken the
condition and some cracks and hiss, this is still a spin worth it’s
while, and how about that great cover ?

tracks;

1 Lord Kitchener – Kitch
2 Duke of Iron – Big bamboo
3 Lord Kitchener – Muriel and the bug
4 Duke of Iron – I left her behind for you
5 Hayden – He like it, she like it
6 Duke of Iron – Parakeets
7 Marie Bryant – Mommie out the light
8 The Charmer – Don’t touch me nylon
9 The Charmer – Is she is, or is she ain’t
10 Marie Bryant – Don’t touch me tomato
11 Duke of Iron – Music lesson
12 Duke of Iron – Postman

While I was working on this post, gathering information, I found ou
that ‘Miss Baikinange’ of ‘Schadenfreudian Therapy’ already placed
it. I guess I knew but didn’t pay attention. Check her page, linked at
the sidebar. This is a great album, worthy of a second posting !
‘Aldwyn Roberts’ or ‘Lord Kitchener’ is the main man in
Calypso. Fantastic songs without exeption.

tracks;

1 Wife and mother
2 Red head
3 My wife’s nightie
4 Kitch take it easy
5 Piccadilly folk
6 Alphonso in town
7 Don’t kiss me too low
8 Woman’s figure
9 Muriel & the bug
10 Is trouble
11 Too late Kitch
12 January girls
13 Old lady walk a mile
14 Carnival

I’d have to gamble on the year on this LP, I’d say 1969, if any one
knows.. If you listen to the hilarius song ‘Child training’ on the album,
‘All time Calypso from Trinidad and Tobago’, posted earlier this week,
you know what to expect here, Composer is a funny guy,

tracks;

1 Permission
2 I love you
3 Reconstruction
4 Prove your love
5 Blow the whole place down
6 Workers lament
7 The argument
8 Proper teaching
9 Forgive me
10 Men on strike

The late Sixties was the time Calypso flourished the most in my opinion.
This LP sounds a bit like a fireside recording ( lot’s of cracks )
but still, it’s the best calypso I’ve ever heard,
Lord Kitchener is the Master.

tracks;

1 ’67
2 Panorama night
3 Grenadian May
4 Take you’ meat out me rice
5 Get up and get
6 Tobago lollipop
7 Yankee gone
8 No more calypsong
9 Cricket champions
10 Don’t come back again

Today we had lots of sunshine in Holland, it made
me feel like having a Calypso post, this one is for
miss Baikinange of SchadenfreudianTherapy ,
thank you for the loads of Calypso you gave us.

tracks;

1 Mighty Duke – Grenada girl
