Desmond Dekker "Action"

Post by Rootsman »

Whilst we are in the Leggo mode of praising albums, i bought the Beverleys CD of this the other day.

Whilst I was familiar with the obvious Dekker output most of the tracks on this one were new to me.

When I played it I was stunned with what a fantastic album, really upbeat with some superb melodies that just made my day.

Anyway, can anyone recommend any other Desmond Dekker albums is this same vein. Or any other albums / CDs of music from this period (avoiding the obvious)

Under the aspect of availability I would recommend this one
[cover=7599,5057]too obvious? ;)

The best and most crucial compilation of Desmond Dekker's greats though has to be "The original Hitsound of Desmond Dekker and the Aces" on Trojan (TRLS 226, released 1985). I don't know if that one ever came on CD.
rougher yet
