I Roy - Version Galore

Review by Jori Schraven

Version Galore is an album by Jamaican DJ I Roy, released in 1978. The album features I Roy's signature style of toasting, a form of reggae where the DJ speaks rhythmically over the instrumental "versions" of popular songs.

The album opens with "Buck and the Preacher," a track that showcases I Roy's lyrical skills and his ability to ride a riddim with ease. "Fire in a Wire" is another standout track, with I Roy delivering rapid-fire rhymes over a funky bassline.

One of the album's highlights is "Hospital Trolley," a track that features I Roy's humorous take on the healthcare system. The track is filled with clever wordplay and witty observations, making it a standout on the album.
