Classic rare 1960 mento / calyspo album from the legendary COUNT OWEN!!! Sleeve and vinyl in amazing shape!! This album is so good a Japanese company re-issued it last year - but this is the ORGINAL!!!!

See this blog:

Count Owen's middle period mento album, "Calypsos Down Jamaica Way" was originally published in 1960 on the label "Kalypso", a subsidiary of "Melodisc".
Mento is a Jamaican music style that is largely unknown outside of that is the grandpappy of reggae. For a ska or reggae fan, mento sounds familiar and exotic
and sometimes unfamiliar. Mento recordings are difficult to come by, but worth seeking out. It's music that lifts my spirits and relaxes my mind whenever I hear it.
During mento's middle period of the 1960s, Count Owen became prolific, as he recorded a string of five LPs that moved from mento to ska to rock steady.
"Down Jamaica Way" is the first Count Owen LP. It sticks to traditional rural mento instrumentation, and for the most part, repertoire.

04. Island In The Sun
