Tracks list

Dennis Alcapone initially inspired by dj U Roy, was soon to challenge his crown
in the early part of the 70's releasing over 100 hit tunes. He could weave his
vocal magic over any tune / rhythm that came his way and take it to another
place. Dennis Alcapone began dj-ing for the el paso hi-fi sound system around
1969. His first releases resulted from working with producer Keith Hudson, a
succession of hits followed, Shades or Hudson, Spanish Omega, Revelation
Version, Maca Version and The Sky's the Limit all hit in 1970 alone. Dennis

classic Treasure Isle rhythms. Number One Station, Mosquito One, in 1971 and
Rock to the Beat, Love is a Gamble, Wake up Jamaica, Teach the Children and

JJ, Winston Riley, Joe Gibbs, Prince Buster all provided an outlet for his
musical endeavours. Another great relationship was his work for producer Bunny
Lee, again scoring some big hits including, Guns Don't Argue and Ripe Cherry the
later adding a twist to Bunny's massive hit of the time Cherry oh Baby. Kingston
