The original King of Reggae, Desmond Dekker introduced the sound of Jamaica to the world at large through a series of international hits, with his music gracing the UK pop charts on no less than 7 occasions between 1967 and 1975.

This incredible run of hits included 007, It Mek, Pickney Gal, You Can Get It If You Really Want, Sing A Little Song and the first Jamaican-produced recording to top the British 7” singles listings, Israelites.

All of these essential recordings feature on the The ‘Essential Artist Collection, which also includes the very best of his remaining work, with almost every track a major Jamaican best-seller.
