          Dennis Alcapone was an extremely popular DJ/toaster in the Jamaica of the early '70s, generally considered second only to U. Roy, the undisputed champion of the time. Universal Rockers is a 1992 release of tracks cut sometime in the late '70s, and it's not an outstanding release: both Alcapone's delivery and the mixing are restrained. It's not what made him famous, check Forever Version on Studio One for that. Neither does it have the bite of most late-'70s DJ cuts, try If Deejay Was Your Trade on Blood & Fire for that. --Jonathan E.

          3 out of 5 stars mediocre.......2000-09-19

          This is another "best of" collection of Alcapone's and frankly, it's not all that great. His style is quite restrained on many of these sides for whatever reason, and therefore loses their effect on the listener. The production is overdone, as well, losing Alcapone in the fray. A sad showing.

          Hardcore fans may find this cd of some use, but if you are looking for a better compilation, wait for the re-release of "My Voice is Insured for Half a Million Dollars."

          Better yet, take the time to listen to Alcapone's classic early 70's releases, such as "Guns Don't Argue," or "King of the Track," and see what made him one of the most beloved toasters in Jamaica.
