I'm beginning to think this record is cursed! I've listed it twice previously and both times I was informed by eBay after the auction ended that the high bidder from the UK is not a registered user and has been removed from eBay!  Let's try one more time on this one...maybe the 3rd time will be a charm!  Due to previous fraud from UK bidders I will not accept bids from or ship to the UK on this one!

Hello vinyl junkies, I’m knee deep (elbow deep?) in grease and rusty or missing parts while restoring a classic car (and have another waiting in the wings if I EVER finish the current one) so I'll be slowly selling off the bulk of my record collection to finance these projects… therefore I'll be continuing to list hundreds of LPs over the next few months, so please keep checking back

Anyway, let's continue with this one by Dennis Sindrey The Pill released by Federal/Kalypso Records in 1968 (208 Stereo)  Original yellow label with black print.  

Dennis began his career playing guitar in the popular Kingston band "The Caribs" between 1958 and 1968. During his early performing days he was often billed as "The Calypsonaire with the Blonde Hair."  The Pill was his second solo album for Federal/Kalypso. Recently Dennis has been performing with a reunited Caribs and The Melbourne Ska Orchestra. The model featured on the front and back cover was none other than "Madam Wasp" (Elizabeth Cespedes-Brady) who was married to Carl Brady of Byron Lee's Dragonaires.

From the liner notes:

This is the age of the Pill! Behold the Pill! How true! The now trend, so vividly and humorosly rendered in a song so true to life, yet so well done by Dennis, you will be thinking about it long after it has gone. But in this album of the greatest Carnival Hits is another song you'll play over and over again, the one and only "Fire In Me Wire." This sort of post mortem could go on and on, so we suggest you put this record on your turntable, relax and enjoy hit after hit by the Guy who sings Calypso with the zing in his wing - Dennis Sindrey.

This LP contains the following tracks:

1. Fire Fire
2. 68 Will Be Great
3. The Pill
4. Mr. Walker
5. Yellow Bird
6. Miss Tourist
7. Honeymoon Couple
8. Take You Meat Out Me Rice
9. Trip To Mars
10. Jamaica Farewell

I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine! (or at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay). I'll take the time to describe any flaws rather that give a letter grade that means something different to seemingly every record seller and buyer... I've received too many LPs graded by sellers VG++ or NM that were pretty beat up, and I'm willing to bet it's happened to your too.

Sorry if the cover looks washed out in the photo below…this is caused by a reflection from the camera flash… the colors are brighter and bolder in person.

If this LP caught your eye, please check my other auctions over the next few months for several other albums including space age pop, lounge, bachelor pad, exotica and weird & strange recordings and more. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases.

I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $3.50 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional 25 cents each. (Please wait for an invoice from me, as the Paypal system does not calculate the combines shipping)

I am sorry but I do not accept bids from (or ship records to) bidders from Italy or the "Russian Federation."

All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from cover for shipping to prevent seam splits while in transit.
