Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, but i am guessing it is going to be some reggae / calypso based on the pics  and addresses on the back.

Album Review: So this is basically a Reggae split, with Pinchers on the A side, and Pliers on the B side. Neither artist had huge success, but this is a nice, relaxing & pleasant record.

Stand Out Track: Here I Come Again - Pinchers
Love Up Mi Bonify - Pliers
