007 The Best Of
Price 12.42 - 13.98 USD
UK two CD collection from the Ska/Reggae legend. Long before Bob Marley was proclaimed the King of Reggae, there was Desmond Dekker. Between 1967 and 1970, Desmond notched up a series of major hit singles that introduced Jamaican music to a global audience and by so doing also established him as Jamaica"s first international superstar. Disc one of this collection features all of Desmond"s best-known tracks from the "60s and "70s. The second disc focuses on his rarer work, with 10 of the tracks seeing issue for the first time, and another 3 making their debut on CD. With almost all the material mastered from the long-lost original Jamaican analogue tapes, the sound quality surpasses all previous collections of the singer"s work and finally does justice to the music of one of the true greats of Reggae music.
