THANKS! Aaron and Tom.
The two LANCELOT tracks on GA 33-357 appear to be from APOLLO 199.
Best wishes, Thomas.

RARE!!!; calypso on this label is both a total delight and some of the rarest issued in the US (probably in part because of the
Ink Spots and Monarchs); great color jacket art by Don Miller; great songs in heavy-vinyl hi-fi: Congo Bey & the Count of Monte
Cristo (Duke of Iron's brother): Marianne, Treat 'Em Rough; Loren Becker (Jamaica Farewell); Pat Mathews (Goombay, Never Mind the
Noise in the Market); Ink Spots (Hold 'Im Joe); Stu Phillips (Barrack Room Scandal--by Mighty Panther!-- Come Back Liza, Elaine
from Port-O-Spain); The Monarchs (Mona Mona Mona Calypso Baby, Banana Boat Song); NB: $40 copy has masking tape on seams--nowhere
near the bordered image

true collectors item, RARE!!! (took us over a decade to find it w/the jacket); calypso on this label is a total delight and some
of the rarest issued in the US (perhaps in part bc of inclusion of the Ink Spots & Monarchs); as with the related Waldorf Music
Hall comp LPs, it's a comp of what were issued as 78s originally; color jacket art "Calypso Drums" by Don Miller; great, rare
songs in heavy-vinyl hi-fi: Duke of Iron (Convoy, Calypsonian Invasion, Out the Fire), Count of Monte Cristo & Congo Bey (Matilda,
Rum & Coca-Cola, Run Joe Run), The Monarchs (Mama Look-a-Boo-Boo, Calypso Melody, Bahama Mama), Sir Lancelot (West Indies
Families, Beautiful Bermuda), Pat Mathews (Mopsie)
