Thorough survey of peak Desmond Dekker & The Aces, among the greatest vocal groups in Jamaican music history. The 'Action!' and 'Intensified' albums effectively demonstrated why Desmond Dekker & the Aces were Jamaica's premier musical act throughout the late Sixties. These long players provide the focus for this 2CD set, which also includes the remainder of the trio's magnificent output from the rock steady era, including rare alternate cuts, and the original versions of their three major UK chart hits - '007', 'Israelites' and 'Ah It Mek'.
