Jamaica Bad Pun For The Title? Yes. I Did.

 

If you're coming to this album to get your Bob Marley fix I'm afraid that you will be disappointed by this 1971 album. It takes the "folk" in the title fairly seriously (except when it's going very orchestral choral).

From the back sleeve:
This is the second L.P. released by the Jamaican Folk Singers. A few favourites from their previous L.P. have been included but even these sound new as the group continues to grow in love and understanding of Jamaica's Folk Music. The Jamaican Folk Singers continue to generate interest in their country's folklore as they perform for widely differing and enthusiastic audiences at home and abroad.

States and Capitals (C)rap



















Rap in the title must refer to "Repeat After Pause."
 
Three of the four of the words in the title are correct. This does in fact include "states and capitals." What it does not include is anything that could even loosely be called "rap." This is so bad that it is only able to get one star by sucking (vampire-like) multiple stars from other items in the Amazon catalog. I hope that the guy pictured on the front got paid well, because I'm certain that he never worked again once this was released.
