Description

  • 180 gram audiophile vinyl
  • 2LP compilation album featuring his greatest hits “007 Shanty Town”, “Israelites”, “You Can Get It” & “It Mek” a.o.
  • Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl

Desmond Dekker recorded some of his best-known songs together with his backing group the Aces. Their track “Israelites” from 1968 became one of the earliest international reggae hits. Dekker's other hits include “007 (Shanty Town)”, “It Mek” and “You Can Get It”, which are all featured on the 1973 compilation album Double Dekker. The album was produced by Leslie Kong and serves an interesting period document of the years 1969-1971, following ska as it evolved into rocksteady.
