Description
Desmond Dekker was Jamaica's first international superstar and "Action!", originally released in 1968 at the absolute peak of his career, is the album that proves why. Fourteen tracks of essential Rock Steady and early Reggae, including the immortal "007 (Shanty Town)", "Unity", and "Don't Blame Me" plus two bonus tracks not on the original pressing.
Now remastered and reissued by Charly Records (BLP003) in November 2024, with the full warmth and punch of the original Jamaican recordings restored. This is Dekker at his commercial and artistic peak: melodic, urgent, and utterly timeless. Essential for Ska, Rock Steady, and early Reggae collectors, and the perfect introduction for anyone discovering Jamaica's greatest crossover artist.
New vinyl. Available now at Copasetic Mailorder.
