Reissued on Poor But Ambitious - Calypso Classics From Trinidad 1928-1940 (Arhoolie).
Covers:
Sabres Of Paradise [as Wilmot]
Mighty Dub Kats [house version as Son Of Wilmot]
Shantel [as Bucovina; German DJ Stefan Hantel, his ancesters come from this region, part Rumania part Ukraine]
Ian Oliver feat. Shantel [idem; n°3 ESP, hit B & NL]
Funny how German DJ Shantel gives this particular tune a north-eastern Balkan aura while this tune originates from Trinidad. Unles he confused calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini with Hungarian-born escape artist Harry Houdini.
