Fantastic selection once more!
Is 'Musical Train' the same as the Clarendonians 45 RIO-115A from 1966?
And if not - who were these Peter and Stanley, and what was the original 45 release...
Can anybody tell me?
KEES
I don't have a copy of the RIO tune but I fairly sure it's the same tune.Peter is Peter Austin ,I have it on a JA "Musik City" label
I agree with Kees, you always have great selections. I have round 25000 songs in my collection and every time you make selections that contain songs that are absent from my collection. Unbelievable.
Thanks a lot for putting so much time into this.
Skadam.

Franck,
ps2:Skadam...25000 tunes??? i can't sleep now.......arghhh....
@ Franck
Yes, 20000 of them digitized and still 5000 waiting, like you I am a 40 something and had some time to collect.
I was promised this or next year to go have a look at a friend of a friend's collection of sealed unused records, never played, the friend was in the business and received these record at regular pace but dislikes reggae related music.
I hope this to continue, although I expect many to be in my collection already but as they are unplayed it means they sound good technically.
I think that round 50.000 songs were made in the period between 1958 (opening of federal recording) and 1990.
So, I am half way.
Personally I am mainly looking for the whole collection of Chin's Calypso Orch. and the Bluebeat collection as they represent least of my collection.
The largest part of my collection is 1963-1970 and contain all the 60's styles like Ska, Skasteady, Rocksteady, Scorcher and Boss.
West Indies Music is part of my DNA, I also have a lot of 30's calypso and some 50's calypso.
Should you like to look for a more exotic part of that music family I can recommend Ghanese Highlife music from the 50's and 60's.
Also I can recommend some seeming unrelated music called Rembetica, this is 20's and 30's music that was played in hashish bars in greece and was wiped out by the Metaxas dictatorial regime.
Players of that music mainly came from Asia-Minor and were forced to leave by Ataturk and fleed to Greece.
This is a great comp. Thank you!
