This rare 1964 vinyl pressing features The Mighty Bomber who was crowned the Calypso King of Trinidad and Tobago in that same year. Released on the Guardian label under catalog number 45-7003 the record showcases the exceptional narrative style of Clifton Ryan as he performs alongside the RCA All Stars Recording Orchestra.

The A side contains Joan and James which is a deeply personal autobiographical track about the artist and his wife Jean while the B side features World Peace a poignant social commentary that served as his second winning selection for the 1964 crown. This hi-fidelity 45 rpm single is an essential artifact for collectors of Caribbean music and historians of the calypso art form during its golden era.

As a legendary figure who famously defeated the Mighty Sparrow to claim his title Ryan remains one of the most respected composers in the genre and this particular release captures him at the absolute peak of his cultural influence.
