So I am assuming this is the same Tradewinds (The Trade Winds) from the Cayman Islands. So this may be a bootleg or maybe a white label/test pressing that was never commercially released but I am not exactly sure. It's all speculation really. So the only person I think they may be referencing to in the song is Simon Winchester. I don't have it but he did write a book about the remaining dependencies of the British Empire. In that book he must have written some things about The Cayman Islands to upset the writer of this song enough to write a song about him. The B side seems to be about the Queen of England telling Phillip that she wants to chill in The Cayman Islands because it's too cold in England. As you can see by the picture below it was purchased at Funky Tang's on Grand Cayman. Update: I spoke to Dave Martins from The Trade Winds and he confirmed that it is in fact their recording. "Simon" "The Queen"
