Description

Release Date: 31 October 2011

"007: The Best Of" is the fantastic hits compilation from legendary reggae/ska singer and songwriter Desmond Dekker, the master behind 60's and 70's hits such as "Israelites", "0.0.7 (Shanty Town)" and "It Mek". The first disc is packed to the brim full of these classic tracks, giving a broad overview of the success Dekker had as well as an introduction to early mainstream reggae music.

The second disc holds a more underground view of Dekker's music, including some tracks that have never made it to CD before. This is the ultimate collection for any Desmond Dekker fan, or for those who just adore the reggae genre, particularly those who enjoy the likes of Derrick Morgan, Toots and the Maytals, and The Skatalites. (Justine Dench)
