Calypso and Other Music of Trinidad, 1912-1962
Calypso, with its diverse cultural heritage, was the most significant Caribbean musical form from World War I to Trinidad and Tobago Independence in 1962. Though wildly popular in mid-1950s America, Calypso--along with other music from "the island of the hummingbird"--has been largely neglected or forgotten. This first-ever discography of the first 50 years of Trinidadian music includes all the major artists, as well as many obscure performers. Chronological entries for 78 rpm recordings give bibliographical references, periodicals, websites and the recording locations. Rare field recordings are cataloged for the first time, including East Indian and Muslim community performances and Shango and Voodoo rites. Appendices give 10-inch LP (78 rpm), 12-inch LP (33 1/3 rpm), extended play (ep) and 7-inch single (45) listings. Non-commercial field recordings, radio broadcasts and initially unissued sessions also are listed. The influence of Trinidadian music on film, and the "Calypso craze" are discussed. Audio sources are provided. Indexes list individual artists and groups, recording titles and labels.

Mad Frank and Friends
Since the publication of his book, MAD FRANK, Francis Fraser has become a media celebrity. He has lectured on a tour of the East End, given one-man shows in Rhyl, the Fortune Theatre and in Dublin. He has made a second film in which he plays a gangster. MAD FRANK AND HIS FRIENDS is a follow-up to the highly successful MAD FRANK. In it, he tells anecdotes of his friends and acquaintances, in and out of prison. It will start in 1943 when he was first shot at and continue until his antics in the present day.
