This page is for mento collectors who want to sell or trade mento records and the like. Send me a description of what you would like to trade or sell along with your contact information and I will post it on this page. The extent of my involvement is to introduce the two parties via this page. All transactions are between the two parties. I am not the middleman.

If you are looking for mento that can be easily purchased on CD, check the Can I Buy Mento? page for a complete rundown.

The Deadly Dragon Sound System maintains a store in NYC's Chinatown is filled thousands of pieces of rare Jamaican vinyl. They are hip to mento, and sometimes have old 78s, 45s and LPs for sale. Although this is not the place for bargain hunters, their selection of rarities is unparalleled. For more, see http://deadlydragonsound.com/.

The Baba Motta solo LP described on the Mento and Jazz page can be purchased from Charles Jackson of Massachusetts for $20, shipping included. He has four copies for sale. You can contact him at CHABEST@aol.com.

Wallace Pryor of St. Louis, Missouri, USA, would like to trade CDR or cassette copies of mento records. He has some mento and calypso, and a lot of hard to find reggae records. He can be contacted at wallacepryor@sbcglobal.net.
