Description:

UK CD pressing. I Am The Greatest is a spoken word album by boxer Cassius Clay, released in August 1963 - six months before he won the world heavyweight championship, announced his conversion to Islam, and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. It was released by CBS Columbia. The album helped establish Ali's reputation as an eloquently poetic "trash talker". Clay collaborated on the writing for the album with the comedy writer Gary Belkin. The recording was conducted at Columbia Records' 30th Street New York Studio before an audience of 200 people. Rather than being listed as "tracks", the first eight entries on the album were listed with "rounds" numbers.

Reissue of a 1963 album, tracks 10 to 12 are bonus tracks not on the original album. CD booklet contains the original liner notes. Tracks 1 to 9 recorded August 5-7, 1963 Tracks 10, 11 recorded August 9, 1963 All background music for tracks 1 to 11 recorded August 9, 1963 Track 12 recorded March 3, 1964 All tracks recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studios, NYC.
