Description


Mento Calypso SUGAR BELLY COMBO Linstead Market 33 1/3 Vinyl Record SIGNED












Original vintage 33 1/3 rpm LP vinyl record. "Sugar Belly Combo, Linstead Market." Port-O-Jam Hi Fi Recording. Signed on the back "From Sugar Belly Tamara Queen." Vinyl VG+ or better, needs light cleaning. Cover nice, few edge scuffs.  

Sugar Belly (William Walker) was an anachronism. This player and maker of bamboo saxophones recorded music featuring this instrument spanning the 1970s into the beginning of the 1990s. This is despite the fact that by the end of the 1960s, the bamboo sax had vanished from mento recordings. Recording mento bands of the 1970s and beyond opted instead for professional woodwinds, or, more frequently, no woodwinds at all.    

Yet, perhaps as a novelty, or as a symbol of the past, Sugar Belly recorded at least three LPs and at least sixteen singles (though probably more), typically on a Coxsone imprint, such as the samples to the left, staring his bamboo sax. These recordings would span mento, calypso and reggae, and the songs came from a wide variety of sources.
As the article below explains, Sugar Belly's band started playing mento with traditional mento instrumentation. But over time, the instrumentation, style and repertoire changed. Though the recordings described on this page span genres and instrumental accompaniment, Sugar Belly's mento instrument is always in the spotlight. These recordings were often instrumental, as Sugar was not a singer.
