Thanks for the ID.
Is that at all raer?

Alex And The Soul Messengers 'USA, I Love You' (my younger brother is feelin_this, mainly because his name is Alex like the self-titled private label. The band is from Guyana; I am assuming based on their the title of their other 45. Not really an island, but still...)
Calypso Vibrations 'Another Star' (steel drum and guitar stuff from an Atlantic Ocean cruise boat band)
Ed Watson 'Baby Come Back'
Freeport City Sounds '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' (From the Bahamas)
and there's that New Bermuda Steelers with the version of "Rhapsody In Blue"
frightening.
