Synopsis

Album Description
If, after perusing the liner notes, the calypso on this compilation still remains barren of meaning for the gentle listener, he is either blind, deaf, dead, or just a terribly mixed-up kid?what the West Indians sometimes call a zombie ! The fast wit and wordplays of calypso are especially pronounced on this compilation by calypsonians like Lord Melody, Mighty Sparrow, Herbert Howard and Mighty Cypher.
