This rare 1963 pressing from the Telco Record Division in Port of Spain captures the legendary Lord Kitchener at the height of his influence as the undisputed Road March King of Trinidad.
Released during the foundational era of modern calypso the record features the festive anthem Road On Carnival Day accompanied by the Island Record Orchestra under the direction of Rupert Nurse. On the reverse side the track Neighbour Neighbour showcases the trademark wit and rhythmic mastery that made Aldwyn Roberts a global icon of Caribbean music. The black and white Telco label highlights the historic connection to Island Records London during a period when calypso was gaining significant international traction.
As a genuine product of the West Indies Telecommunications and Electronics Company this seven inch single serves as an authentic piece of carnival history and a essential addition for any serious collector of early reggae and world music heritage.
