There is no other score to give this collection but all 5 stars. If you ever wondered what happened to Eddie Grant after Electric Avenue, he owns the company that has been putting out these CD collections of Kitchener and Sparrow. Some of the songs here are not reflected on any of those other CD's. So scoop this one. Monster hits like Jean and Dinah featured in the film Mystic Masseur and the elegant Margie are here. But the all time champion Calypso on here must be Sa Sa Yea. While Sparrow is known internationally for his smooth voice and provocative lyrics, Lord Kitchener was always more respected in Trinidad for his cleverly camouflaged double entendres and rich musical compositions...compositions that always took the orchestral needs of the steel pan players into consideration. Pan ochestras love Kitch! It is only in Sa Sa Yea that Sparrow has an equally rich, orchestral response to Kitch while maintaining his crisp, sweet voice...This song will stick in your head even if you don't understand the Creole protestations of its female protagonist. Other monster hits on here include Drunk and Disorderly and My Pussin. This CD is a gem!ighty
