such a sweet sweet album, brought to me courtesy of my local library. the cd has got 18 versions, most under 3 mins long , dennis' style is dj ing like u roy and i roy, i was not familiar with his style until very recently. any thoughts on dennis alcapone?

Hello,

Not a great fan of Alcapone, in fact his Guns Don't Argue on Trojan I consider boring, but...
... Forever Version is very very good:)

It goes very smoothly, even it's filled with bonus tracks. I think this album won RA Awards 2007 in DJ category.That's a fine recommendation:)

yes, my local UK library had it on their shelves which is a joy to me ..thanks for your comments

Dennis Alcapone was on par with U Roy as an innovator of the dj style and as a popular dj of the day who toasted over classic Treasure Isle tunes as well as Studio One. Also check out the rootsier Universal Rockers on RAS.

Dennis Alcapone is a legend and a true gent.

His 'Power Version' is one of the most uplifting sides for me.

Respect

Hi Sean,
you can find some brief comments by my web site.
Maybe you can find something else which is interesting, too.
