Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Album issued in CD for the first time. Includes major chart hit, 'It Meik'.Many tracks unavailable for decades. Making his mark on the international recording scene with a series of global hits in the late Sixties and early Seventies, Desmond Dekker enjoyed success on a scale no other Jamaican act had experienced.So in 1972, when the singer left the world's leading reggae record company, Trojan Records, to join the newly launched rival Creole, the move sent shockwaves through the UK's music industry. In response, Trojan gathered some of the singer's biggest hits alongside rare and previously unreleased material from the archive, which they issued on the aptly-titled double LP set, 'Double Dekker'. Much to the chagrin of Creole, the collection swiftly became one of Trojan's biggest selling long players of 1973, its release eclipsing the singer's recently recorded work for his new label.rrNow, 45 years after its original release, 'Double Dekker' is finally available once more, with the track-listing augmented with six rare bonus tracks. Avoiding any cross-over of material with companion volumes, 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' (DBCD015) and 'Action! & Intensified' (DBCDD025), the collection ensures Desmond Dekker's entire Leslie Kong-produced rock steady and reggae output is available for the much-missed performer's fans.
