The Recordings

From 1966 to 1996 the band has produced 17 albums (4 on RCA Victor and 13 on Penny Records) including a dozen 45 rpm recordings. Recorded in a variety of studios in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, and Miami (RCA Victor, Toronto/Montreal; Captain Audio; Kinck Sound, Criteria Sound) the albums were released on vinyl and cassette.
Starting in 1996, the band began reissuing the catalogue on CD at Hopscotch Studios in Grand Cayman, with re-engineered recordings faithful to the originals. To date, three of those CD's entitled "Tradewinds Greatest Hits" have been recorded. Their goal is to eventually have 6 CD's composed of approximately 80 songs associated with this Legendary group. In late 1997, the band started work on an entirely new CD, with new songs written by Martins, which is slated for release in March 1998.
