Forever Version


Forever Version is the debut album from Jamaican reggae deejay Dennis Alcapone. It was released in 1971 by Studio One, and features Alcapone toasting over some of the label's greatest hits. The album was engineered by Sylvan Morris who left large parts of the original vocal tracks in the mix, with Alcapone appearing to answer back to the singers. Tracks which formed the basis for the album include Larry Marshall's "Nanny Goat", The Cables' "Baby Why", Carlton and The Shoes' "Love Me Forever", two tracks from The Heptones, and one from The Wailers. The album was reissued by Heartbeat Records on CD in 1991, and again in an expanded form in 2007, with six bonus tracks.
