Album 1972 on Strakers Recording label
Reggae, Folk, World and (Calypso)
Melody's first album for 9 years. Although considered part of his soca period, it is not in this style, which was invented by Lord Shorty a year after the album's release. The album is written as Lord Melody Say Mas Is Devil Power on the cover. He had recorded a number of singles and compilation tracks in the years between, but never a full album. He had been busy working for Harry Belafonte in New York, and was making enough money doing that. The track Going Home is a rewritten version of "My Father's Kingdom" from his album "Mas Is Devil Power". The song Melvina is misspelt Meluina on the back of the LP.
