Steeped in the rich cultural history of the West Indies this original 1962 pressing of Marriage Recipe offers a quintessential slice of vintage calypso from the golden era of Trinidadian music.

The record features the smooth baritone of Nap Hepburn who first rose to prominence in the mid nineteen fifties as a member of the influential March of Dimes Quartet. Hepburn is joined on this track by the same legendary vocal group providing their signature doo wop inspired harmonies while the Telco Recording Orchestra under the baton of Frank Francis delivers a rhythmic and brass forward arrangement. Released on the Telco label by the West Indies Telecommunications and Electronics Company based in Port of Spain this seven inch single captures the sophisticated production quality that defined the islands recording industry during the transition to independence.

The label design prominently displays the distinctive Telco arc and identifies the songwriter as R Mc Collin making it a sought after piece for collectors of Caribbean soul and traditional calypso. Known for its witty and advisory lyrical content Marriage Recipe remains a standout track in Hepburns prolific discography alongside his better known political and social commentaries.

This genuine artifact of West Indian musical heritage serves as a vibrant testament to the artists who shaped the soundtrack of Trinidad and Tobago during a transformative decade.
