Format:Audio CD
Groovy cuts from Caribbean islands were recorded in 1968-75, a golden era of this stuff. Ever heard funk from Trinidad or Barbados? St. Vincent? Well here you get it all, and if you are looking for groovy oddities, this should satisfy you. Soul and calypso, reggae and funk get mixed together into something worth hearing.
