CD Details

Released: October 10, 2006
Originally Released: 2007
Label: Bear Family

Description by OLDIES.com:

35 unissued masters are featured, many not released at the time because of restrictions imposed by local censors who became nervous when calypso bards turned to controversial and political topics; but calypso always thrived on scandal, and told the truth to those in power.
