From the back cover: "I (Liberace) think the music that this group is producing is remarkable, ranging from the traditional calypso to symphonic works."
"Not to be confused with various calypso bands, this group is a concert band... or perhaps I should say orchestra. Their repertoire consists of such selections as The Poet and Peasant Overture, Handel's Messiah, Midnight In Moscow, Sabre Dance, as well as rock, jazz and calypso presentations."
"And the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band is the first touring act I've seen receive a standing ovation at every performance."
The band has given concert in Central Park in New York City, for the Diplomatic Corps,. in Washington, D.C., two command performances for Queen Elizabeth of England, and at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. This album is, indeed, a command performance in itself.
