Talking Love Riddim – Unknown Label

Talking Love Riddim – Unknown Label is listed from 1974 as an unknown-producer, unknown-label release with a compact three-track lineup from Dennis Alcapone, Freddie McKay, and The Paragons. Dennis Alcapone’s Love Is The Key (Talking Version) brings the deejay angle, while Freddie McKay and The Paragons both cut Talking Love, giving the set a nice balance between toasted and sung versions. Freddie McKay was already established as a strong Studio One-era voice, so his cut fits naturally beside the Paragons’ harmony style and Alcapone’s talking delivery. With only three songs, the riddim stays focused and gives a clear snapshot of early-’70s Jamaican vocal and deejay styling.
