Desmond Dekker is a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer-songwriter and musician. He was originally a welder by profession, and it was his colleagues that encouraged him to pursue a career in music when they heard him singing in the workplace. He eventually signed a record deal with Beverley's, and grew into one of Jamaica's biggest stars. He is also credited with launching the career of fellow former welder Bob Marley.
In the 1993, he released the collaborative album King of Kings with English ska band The Specials through the famous reggae label Trojan Records. Released under the name Desmond Dekker and The Specials, King of Kings consists of songs by Dekker's musical heroes including Byron Lee, Theophilus Beckford, Jimmy Cliff, and his friend and fellow Kong label artist, Derrick Morgan.

BUY FROM HERE VINYL LOVER
Sent In By: Lesley Webster on 25 April 2024Amazing company to deal with. I have ordered a few albums and always received a consistently smooth and fast delivery. The latest album I received was RYUICHI SAKAMOTO MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE VINYL LP (Used). It is in incredible condition and is a beautiful album. I am based in Australia and delivery time is always really fast. When ordering online you really want to make sure you trust a company especially with beloved albums and that's why I am taking time out of my day to recommend this company. I salute you for the work you do to make me happy!
Great service and item.

Maya Jane Coles - Take Flight 3LP box set
Sent In By: Dave on 24 April 2024Well priced and super quick dispatch. Arrived in a sturdy mailer, complete with an oversized outer jacket for the box set, which saved me having to source that separately, and one inner sleeve. Although three inner sleeves would have been perfect (since there were 3 LPs) it was still much appreciated. Not many Sellers include either of those accessories. So all told, a very positive buying experience. Recommended, and i will be buying more LPs in future.
