D’Amato’s Record Shop holds many records, literally and figuratively, but Malta’s oldest record shop says the honour of the island’s most-sold record on debut day goes to Freddy Abela’s Taxi Mary. In a Facebook post, the shop recalls the release day for the single Taxi Mary by the renowned Żabbar folk singer more popularly known as il-Bamboċċu. According to a diary entry dating back to 15 May 1967, the shop sold 751 records of Taxi Mary. “That is a record, in both senses, for Malta that will never ever be matched,” the shop said. William D’Amato, who looked after the record business for five decades, had given all staff a £1 weekly increase at the time. “On the day, police had to be called in to control a large crowd outside the shop where the queue of people reached right up to St John’s Co-Cathedral,” the shop recalled. Taxi Mary is a popular folk song that plays on the stereotypes associated with various towns and villages. Il-Bamboċċu was most renknowned for his spirtu pront, or ‘impromptu singing’, a form of għana music centred on free-flowing style and improvised song lyrics. A popular rendition of the song sees Abela sing with popular parody singer Joe Demicoli in playful performance full of banter. Abela died in 2003.
