Explainer
Release catalog

Start with the two Explainer albums

The Very Best of Explainer Vol.1 & 2 has 17 rows, opening with Lorraine and including Rasta Chick and Ras Mas. Explosion has 10 and pairs Politicians at row six with Politicians (Dance Mix) at row 10. The two editions display June 1, 2008 and January 16, 2009; those are provider edition dates, not original-release dates.

Locate repeated titles across compilations

Lorraine also appears on Sweet Sweet Soca, while The Ultimate Soca Gold Collection lists Lorraine (Re-Make) [feat. Bunji Garlin]. Rasta Chick reappears on Golden Hitz of Calypso and Soca Vol.1, and Ras Mas on the 29-track Calypso Dreams - Soundtrack. Each compilation keeps every other performer’s rows, and a shared title does not establish the same recording.

What this source selection covers

The selected US provider cohort contains 153 track appearances across nine captured editions, none of them single-track editions. No captured edition in this cohort was excluded. Repeated titles remain separate observations. Shared releases retain all displayed performers. Edition dates are not necessarily first-release dates. The lookup requested up to 200 collections. Physical releases, other territories and unlinked collaborations may be missing.

Songs across captured editions

153 release-track observations across 9 complete captured editions, including single-track releases. Repeated titles and appearances remain separate; this is not a count of unique recordings or standalone articles.

Each row preserves its source’s performer display. Collaborations and compilation appearances found through this catalog are not automatically recordings by Explainer alone. Missing performer identity stays unresolved.
