Description
Capleton – Alms House (1993, RAS Records)
A foundational early‑90s dancehall album from Capleton, Alms House captures the artist right as he was rising into international recognition. Released by RAS Records in 1993 and produced by Philip “Fatis” Burrell for Xterminator Productions, the album blends raw, militant delivery with socially conscious themes, street‑level storytelling, and the unmistakable digital dancehall sound of the era.
The artwork and disc design reflect the album’s themes of poverty, hustle, and economic struggle—currency motifs, bold colours, and Capleton’s commanding presence. This release is notable for containing both the original title track and a bonus Ragga Hip‑Hop Remix, exclusive to the CD edition.
Perfect for collectors of early dancehall, RAS Records releases, or fans tracking Capleton’s evolution from hardcore DJ to cultural icon.
