According to the liner notes, InchCalypso is... a humor-coated pellet of un-camouflaged truth... taking the opportunity of saying something to somebody in song that you couldn't say in polite society... The dummy for a singing ventriloquist.Inch Whether or not this is an apt description, this compilation brings together some of the best calypso from Trinidad and Antigua Johnny Gomez and Orchestra, Small Island Pride and Herbert Howard with the Brute Force Steelband, as well as Lord Cristo and Dictator. (Also check out SWF40453 Calypso Awakening from the Emory Cook Collection.) Album Tracks 1. Carnival Celebration 2. Last Night the Landlord Nearly Killed Me 3. Skokiaan 4. Federation 5. Anna 6.
