This is the very first recording of Pan Music and it is the Hell Yard Steel Band accompanying"The Roaring Lion" Mr.Raphael De Lion in February of 1940. The Players were Eric Stowe and Hamilton "Big Head Hamil" Thomas playing 2 three-note Tenor-Kettles. As you know Hell yard went on to be named All Stars and then Trinidad All Stars.

I love this early recording to the point that once I had a workshop play a cover of it... so thanks a lot for the info on the players and instruments!
