Grand Emperors of Calypso.......2003-07-27

There is no other score to give this collection but all 5 stars. If you ever wondered what happened to Eddie Grant after Electric Avenue, he owns the company that has been putting out these CD collections of Kitchener and Sparrow. Some of the songs here are not reflected on any of those other CD's. So scoop this one.
Monster hits like Jean and Dinah featured in the film Mystic Masseur and the elegant Margie are here. But the all time champion Calypso on here must be Sa Sa Yea. While Sparrow is known internationally for his smooth voice and provocative lyrics, Lord Kitchener was always more respected in Trinidad for his cleverly camouflaged double entendres and rich musical compositions...compositions that always took the orchestral needs of the steel pan players into consideration. Pan ochestras love Kitch!
It is only in Sa Sa Yea that Sparrow has an equally rich, orchestral response to Kitch while maintaining his crisp, sweet voice...This song will stick in your head even if you don't understand the Creole protestations of its female protagonist. Other monster hits on here include Drunk and Disorderly and My Pussin. This CD is a gem!

Dos maestros, aunque no frente a frente.......2001-06-30

Las canciones de este disco no tienen desperdicio. Cada una es una obra maestra del calypso, sobre todo de la década del 60, cuando Sparrow y Kitchener lideraban este movimiento en Trinidad y Tobago.

Lo que sí me dejó un poco decepcionado es que se trata de una recopilación. Los temas fueron extraídos de diversos LPs de cada cantante. Ellos nunca se juntaron para realizar este disco y, por lo tanto, no hay canciones a dúo ni tampoco tocan juntos. Eso es una lástima, porque habría sido algo magnífico. Pero las canciones son tan buenas que dejan esta situación sólo como algo anecdótico.

mighty island rhythms.......2001-02-23

Mighty Sparrow once again provides a series of classic rhythms for soca fans in need of a lift. The beats are strong, and as usual the lyrics celebrate the comical side of the human experience. Definitely a worthwhile listen.

Forgive the cheesy title, but a star is re-born once again........2007-07-09

In 1954, Judy Garland gave the most acclaimed performance of her career as a musical movie star in George Cukor's musical remake of the 1937 straight-up drama A Star Is Born. After its premiere, the film was heavily edited and would not be seen in its near complete form again for nearly thirty years. Judy was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance, but lost to Grace Kelly, to the chagrin of many Garland fans to this day, as well as many celebrities of the day. (Groucho Mark famously called it the biggest robbery since Brinks.)

In all that mess, the soundtrack was released by Columbia on vinyl record in mono and has since never been out of print and was a best-seller for years. In 1988, Columbia took the musical numbers and the overture directly from the film's stereo soundtrack (As, sadly, stereo soundtrack masters no longer existed.) and released those onto CD. The sound quality was somewhat horrendous, but digital audio was still in its infancy and not much else could be done.

In 2004, for the film's 50th anniversary, Columbia, Legacy, and Sony Music Soundtrax released this incredible new expanded remastered CD reissue of the film's soundtrack. This is the most complete soundtrack you can find and it's definitely worth upgrading from your 1988 CD release.

This CD contains not only all of the songs, including an extended intro to The Man That Got Away which was shortened in the film as well as the complete intro to Gotta Have Me Go With You, but also contains a near complete release of the instrumental score, which includes whole tracks and parts of tracks that were not used in the film, as well as an alternate vocal take of It's A New World, the deleted When My Sugar Walks Down The Street segment from Born In A Trunk, and a static-y complete version of The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial, which was taken from a worn acetate playback disc - the only complete recording in existence.

The soundtrack is taken from a mixing and matching of several elements, such as acetate playback discs, the original Columbia mono soundtrack album masters, and the film's 4-track stereo soundtrack, among others. This means that the soundtrack goes back and forth from being stereo and mono. However, this does not detract from my listening experience any, and frankly, I can't tell much of a difference. One interesting note is that Gotta Have Me Go With You uses both the film's soundtrack and the mono soundtrack album masters to create a faithful listening experience, from the mono instrumental intro to the song itself, which except for a short portion, is taken from the film's 4-channel soundtrack. (The mono portion of the vocal part was used to edit out some plot-related screams that were present in the 1988 release. This method of retaining the aural integrity of Gotta Have Me Go With You was also used when it was included on the Rhino Records compilation Judy Garland In Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits.)

Despite the fact that this soundtrack is taken from several different surviving elements and sadly not from a single set of elements, as Warner Bros. didn't have the foresight to save everything like MGM and Disney did, this is an excellent presentation of this landmark soundtrack. The sound quality for the most part is excellent, and the liner notes are also wonderful. Garland historian John Fricke writes a small essay on the production of the film and an annotated guide to the soundtrack, which gives a synopsis of the plot and also indicates where the tracks from the CD appear in the film. Producer Didier C. Deutsch also writes a small essay on the creation of this CD release, giving notes on the elements and some specific tracks.

Amazon is offering this soundtrack at an excellent price, and I have to say, it's a bargain for a soundtrack of this caliber and sound quality. Any Garland fan or movie soundtrack fan should have this in their collection.

A Star Is Born Soundtrack Review.......2007-01-10

A really excellent soundtrack to go with an excellent movie. This is some of Judy Garland's best material in both music and acting. The power of her voice on "The Man That Got Away" is amazing. "Born In A Trunk", "It's A New World", "Someone At Last" and "Lose That Long Face" are other recommended tracks. This is a MUST HAVE for all you Judy Garland fans.

Judy at her peak!.......2006-05-30

Judy Garland's finest film work was "A Star Is Born." Because she and her husband, Sid Luft, were also the producers, it was the most intensely involving production she had ever undertaken. The laser focus of her brilliant talent was never before realized on film to this degree. Also, she had gained tremendous personal confidence due to the unprecedented audience response to the concerts she had done between her MGM films and ASIB. The love with which the live audience embraced her, brought new heights to her acting as well.
The production values of the film were top of the line and it shows on this fine CD. It's a chance to experience Judy's talent on a more intimate basis without the visuals.
A must-have for every serious Garland collector.

a "Star" shines like never before..........2005-04-27

This reissued remaster of A STAR IS BORN is a must-own for fans of the movie, and in particular those who were somewhat dissatified by the previous CD edition (CK 44389). That edition was great for offering us most of the main numbers in stereo/mono mix but was marred by poor analogue distortion and other remastering problems (though this was the best that could have been done at the time). This new edition (CK 65965) presents the entire score, including background and incidental sections as well as the cut material, in a sparkling new package.

The big bonus for getting this latest edition is for Garland's complete rendition of "The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial" (without the dialogue of James Mason). This has been taken from a rare acetate master, so while the sound quality is not the best, having the number complete without interrupting dialogue is a more than ample compensation. You will notice too that "Lose That Long Face" has been newly mastered from a better stereo source (cutting out the thunder-crashes that were heard on the first CD master, and Garland's singing no longer has those violent analogue fluctuations during the introduction). "Gotta Have Me Go with You" is now presented without the screams and noises, in a new master from the mono soundtrack.

"When My Baby Walks Down the Street", a section cut from the "Born in a Trunk" sequence, has been added as a bonus track. This sparkling-new STAR IS BORN reissue is a great tribute to what is most definitely Judy Garland's greatest hour on film.

Musical perfection of the highest magnitude!!!.......2005-02-25

Was there ever a more perfect voice than the one possessed by Judy Garland? Powerful yet gentle. Dynamic yet restrained. Bone-chilling yet soothing. She had the pipes!

And her instrument was showcased at its best in the music from her triumphant "A Star is Born".

This expanded version is a bona-fide treasure with the highlight being Garland's earth-shattering "The Man That Got Away," presented with vocals and several instrumental versions. Along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Trolley Song", "The Man That Got Away" is an essential for Garland fans, as well as those that know a good song when they hear it.

The fifteen-minute medley that was featured in the film as the "introduction" of "Vicki" to the public is another outstanding track, featuring "Born in a Trunk", "Suwanee," and "My Melancholy Baby," all exquisitely performed by the legendary talent.

Clocking in at just under eighty minutes, the soundtrack to the classic film is, indeed, in a class by itself, and deserving of repeated listening, maintaining its "freshness" after more than five decades.

Album Description

Fueled by his experiences in post-war Port of Spain, Mighty Sparrow's First Flight reflects a world of bravado and high rhetoric where violence of tongue and hand, the cut and thrust of word and razor, were reduced to a finely-honed skill. Sparrow's calypsos, spun with an invincible exuberance, intertwine spiritual and social concerns resulting in unflinching social commentary. Incendiary and often scandalous, First Flight shatters popularly held perceptions of calypso as merely "party" music. 20-page booklet with extensive liner notes and photos, 18 tracks, and 76 minutes of music!

Calypso legend.......2006-11-10

Excellent compilation of West Indian legend, Mighty Sparrow, whose politically minded lyrics predated Bob Marley or Peter Tosh. Mighty Sparrow rose in Trinidad and was one of the pioneering artists to bring Calypso outside of the Caribbean. Calypso, a form of music enslaved Africans in the West Indies used to communicate political information that European enslavers would not recognize because they were in the form of song. Think of it as vocal capoiera! Reggae, which is also great, is a much later genre that has its roots in calypso.

This is a sterling album that not only takes me back to my childhood but also examines one the most famous exponents of this artform. THe songs are still as lyrical, poignent and accessible as when they written. Funny clever and entertaining just listen and you fall in love all over again

R-I-K-K-I T-I-K-K-I T-A-V-I.......2005-07-24

Via his late 50s/early 60s singles, Mighty Sparrow staked out a claim as the greatest English-speaking pop artist of the 20th century. Exhibit A is on this disc. Melodies abound and Sparrow can sing them all with grace, style, and humor. The horn charts are of surpassing brilliance, "No Money No Love" being a prime example. The rhythm sections propel forcefully and rhythmically without ever taking the focus away from the song. Lyrically, he is by turns incisive and amusing, and usually both. I mean, can't you use a disc where the singer spells out the title of a children's tale in perfect cadence? (I know I can.) If I could keep only one disc from my collection, it would be this compilation. If I could keep only one song from my collection, it would be this disc's "Governor's Ball", an allegorical tale of a free spirit/lunatic who takes over a stuffy party, sung to a soaring melody and backed by a band equal to the singer.

Exellent early vintage calypso at its best!.......2006-02-17

This is a marvelous album, not only are the songs fantastic but you see all the elements that made early calypso what it is as it emerged as an international art form. Take the 1st track "when a man is poor" and track 9 "if you're brown" both are scathing attacks on poverty and subtle classism respectivley, that was rampant at the time and fortunately is less prevalent (although still existent today), what is also typical of these songs and the genre of that early era was the use of established jazz idioms and popular music the two songs' melodies could easily be waltzes! "cricket champions" shows the improvisory roots where claypsonians would often have impromptu battles at cricket matches, creating lyrics and melodies on the fly with only a banjo and drums as back up! The rest of the songs are equally enjoyable "trouble in arima", "old lady walk a mile and half" like most of Kitch's songs lend themselves easily to steel band arrangments and orchestral manipulation. A cheeky, classic showing his beautiful, classy and tasteful use of double entendre (something lacking in many of today calypsonians)is found in "Doctor Kitch" The other songs e.g "Nora" have equal value and are also great for just dancing.

All in all this is fantastic album on all fronts, as a window into to the past showing Kitch's genius, the evolution of the art form and the early influences that forged calypso into what it is today and as a great way to wine the waist and dance.

Enjoy!!

How to Telelay.......2004-07-30

This Kitchener compilation is a gem with all the obvious reasons why Kitchener's musical compositions were always favored at Carnival by steel pan orchestras. Pannists trained on Calypso, Jazz and Tchaikovsky always choose Kitch! He seems the only composer who consistently makes songs that lend themselves to the complex arrangements of an orchestra. This is the most sophisticated side of Calypso music, but the lyrics are as loaded with innuendo and social critique as ever.

The Man Who Made Harry Famous.......2001-05-09

After many years of traveling the Carribean, from St. Lucia, to Trinidad and on to Haiti, the music joins your soul. Lord Kitchener is the classic Calypsonian. His songs have inspired the mighty Harry Belafonte an we the perapatetic tourists. Long may he sing the story of the Carribean people!

Lord Kitchner is one of the greats and everything on this CD is his own music. Sorry to say, I am a bit disappointed. In my opinion, one of the charms of calypso is that it is (for want of a better term) "music in the rough". Calypso accompanied by a studio orchestra is not, in my opinion, folk music anymore. It is merely a musical genre.

All Hail Lord and King : Kitchener.......2006-02-10

I remember Kitch's music as a child in the caribbean.I am now completely in awe his talent and of this compilation. (especially Vol.3). It is wonderful uptempo music. Like they say in the Caribbean "yu got to wine yu waist!" no question whatsoever!. If you love good Jump-up music this is the one for you. (Definitely Not the wave yu hand/flag/rag nonsense of today)

The earlier volumes (1 and 2) were a little bit before my time. but Vol 3 is absolutely magnificent with more modern accompaniment. Nevertheless it is interesting to see how his music evolved over the years. My three year old daughter and I are dancing to this CD all the time! She loves it.

This is some of the best arranged calypso music ever made, no wonder the Steel-pan men love it so!

Kitch you are so missed. Each song on the CD is timeless.Thank you for still bringing joy to the world even after you're gone!
