In 2007, Dutton Vocalion reissued a pair of Edmundo Ros albums filled with mainstream calypso music. Originally released in 1957, Calypso Man picks up where Ros left off with his 1956 album of calypsos which was reissued by Dutton Vocalion in 2003, along with the Ros album of baions. Calypso Man is fairly typical of mid- to late-'50s Ros, who recycled "Chocolate Whiskey and Vanilla Gin" from his late-‘40s band book. "Henry VIII" is not "I'm Henery the Eighth I Am," a British music hall ditty recorded by Harry Champion in 1931 and revived more than 30 years later by Herman's Hermits. Instead Ros delivers a novelty calypso that encourages civilized lovemaking as opposed to decapitation as practiced by the Tudor monarch in question. This odd little number appears to have been written by the same individual who penned the naughty "Jacob, Take Off Your Tra-Lala." Most of the Calypso Man album would later be reissued as Edmundo Ros Plays the Limbo. Dutton Vocalion has actually reissued that reissue rather than the original 1957 Calypso Man album, which included a modified version of "Matilda" called "Sweetie, Sweetie." The best part of this double reissue package is the Calypso album from 1970 (tracks 1-12), on which Ros opted for a stronger presentation with an exciting lineup which included at least one steel drummer. He also tapped into a batch of titles by real contemporary calypso kings like the Mighty Panther, the Mighty Duke, and the Mighty Sparrow, whose charmingly titled opus "Sell the Pussy" eventually earned Ros his first, and perhaps only, parental advisory tag. There are also two titles by Lord Kitchener, who like Ros found acceptance and popular success in the U.K. after making friends with the royal family. This entertaining compilation includes an ingratiatingly ghoulish portrait of "The Funeral Undertaker" as well as "The Sky-Jackers," a light-hearted essay which describes the art of forcibly redirecting jet planes to Havana. That practice became positively trendy during the ‘60s and peaked in 1969 when more than 30 such rerouting attempts were made, most of them successfully.
