Notes
--------
AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Consisting of tracks recorded between
1970 and 1973, when the young DJ was at the peak of his
popularity, this album remains the single best summation of
Dennis Alcapone's art. It's true that his style owed a deep
debt to U Roy, but he managed to improve on his lyricism and
melodic interest; although Alcapone was primarily a
"chatter" in the established tradition, he frequently lapsed
into singing and was also known for his strange whoops and
yelps. My Voice has been reissued by Trojan before, but this
issue ups the ante considerably by adding ten bonus tracks
to the original program. Highlights are numerous and include
the spectacular "Musical Alphabet," "Joe Frazier Round 2"
(which continues a popular topic for DJs of the period), and
most of all, his brilliant DJ cuts on the Ethiopians'
classic "Selah" (titled "Rocking to Ethiopia") and Augustus
Pablo's deathless instrumental "Java" ("Mava"). Of course,
he's helped considerably by the consistently high quality of
the rhythm tracks, which came to him courtesy of such top
producers as Duke Reid, Winston "Niney" Holness, and Bunny
Lee. This album should be considered an essential part of
any serious reggae collection. — Rick Anderson
