Listening to this New Bermuda Stealers "Life" LP I got yesterday, and it is soooo funky! These guys must have been blowing wigs in the hotel circuit....

Steel Drum 12's count?
Just curious, but how many Steel Band records have you heard?
Kevin.
YES! I got one of their joints, the cover is a picture of them in the street if I recall. It's in storage so I can't get to it right now...
Her mom remarried a TriniMan named Roy. One year for Christmas, Jesse's mom got her a steel drum and Roy flipped when he saw it.
"Who causin' all dis problem wit a steel pan?"
It seemed like a harmless gift, but Roy continued to go off.
"In Trinidad, only badman play steel pan. And if him play real good, you know him real tough!"
Jesse asked, "Why? 'Cause he practices steel pan all day?"
I'm still in the dark about this. Who can speak on the true badman nature of skilled steel drummers? Magnetic? K in Canadad?
tropicana like the fruit company?
alan hawkshaw produced this
yeah, I was just curious about some of the corporate sponsorship of these bands, but guess it goes hand in hand with the tourist industry. Could be the name of the hotel they played at too...There was/is a Tropicana in Las Vegas...
No way is Tropicana the orange juice. The hotel thing is probably right. I'm sure there's still quite a few Tropicana hotels around the caribbean.
got Calypso Rock,Cissy Strut,Hold on I'm Coming,Do Your thing,Aint no Sunshine plus more on it.
K in Canada.
The house on the LP cover?

This Igniters Explode LP has a cool cover of The Godfather theme.

I have to say the fire on the cover is not replicated inside. Big disappointment. Cool cover though
