Yes,but unfortunately they don't have good discographies like The Calypso Archives do.

Am I the only one frustrated by the intense competition for these records on eBay?


Also does anybody know more about a Straker's artists from the 70s named "Calypso Rose" ?I have one Lp,and one 45 of hers,but cannot find any information,or other records .

you mention.From memory having printed out about 200 pages from that website
which does re-produce covers from the late 50's plus you can enlarge cover
minatures from discographies of guys like Lord Kitchener so maybe just have
a check of that great site-it might have clues.
