$

38

LP on rare private KA-LA-LOO Records Trinidad KLS051 from 1974.  Layne is one of the great unsung innovators and intellects of West Indian music. Lancelot Layne can lay claim to being the inventor on an original genre: Rapso, a fusion of calypso's direct delivery and rhythm with radical politics and confrontational social commentary. The style was born of the social and political unrest in 1970s Trinidad and Tobago. The sound is totally unique. Like Marius Cultier or Boris Gardiner a mix of Jazz, Funk, Latin, Afro and Soul. Always reflecting the traditional Calypso roots. The sound of Lancelot Layne can be heard on the Strut Calypsoul70 compilation.  Cover has some medium wear. Record has a nice gloss but also some scuffs and rates a 8 1/2 to 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.

For mutiple auction wins, I will always combine shipping and if 5 or more lps are won, I will pay some of the shipping costs but that will be my call on how much.

I will be listing thousands of every kind of record you can imagine in the next few months. Don't be fooled by the low starting prices as some of these are worth very much more than the starting price. I will list Rock , Jazz , Blues , R & B , Funk , Northern Soul , Folk , Psych , country , Spoken Word , Classical  Etc.....I grade by Jerry Osbourne Grading on a 1 to 10 scale.  ( 1 being trashed and 10 being Mint condition and everything in between. In the case of a sealed Lp, I do not rate and will specify condition if there are any issues.

NOTE; US ONLY Media mail is running slower due to cutbacks at Post Office.

I will ship Media and Priority in the US. Overseas will be first class up to 4 pounds and priority for 4 pounds plus. Most of these Lps weigh in at 1 pound 2 ounces and cost should be $12.00 in most cases. If cost is higher, Wait til end of auction and I will send new invoice with correct amount as I cannot be sure that ebays policy is making me overcharge you. I will also combine shipping cost for multiple wins. Please wait for new invoice with new charges for multiple wins. Canada rates are less then international. Please feel free to check all my other auctions and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
