This quintessential 1964 release from the National Record Company of Trinidad captures the unrivaled Calypso King of the World Slinger Francisco better known as Mighty Sparrow at the height of his creative powers.

Recorded in Port of Spain with the lush accompaniment of the Bert Inniss National Recording Orchestra this sought after 45 rpm single showcases the vibrant energy and rhythmic precision of mid sixties Caribbean music.

The featured track Village Ram is a celebrated example of Sparrows masterful use of double entendre and machismo storytelling which became a hallmark of his legendary career and secured his dominance in the calypso arena. Backed by the track Bull Pistle Gang this pressing on the N.S.P. 034 catalog number serves as a vital artifact from an era when calypso acted as the social and political newspaper of the West Indies. This authentic Trinidadian pressing remains a cornerstone for collectors of global folk and reggae history representing a pivotal moment in the evolution of the islands musical identity.
