![Desmond Dekker - King of Ska: The Beverley's Records Singles Collection, 1963 - 1967 [Audio CD]](http://www.yachew.com/cdn/shop/products/51CvA5cBf_L._AC.jpg?v=1693003150&width=1080)
In 1963, a 21-year-old welder with dreams of becoming a full-time singer-songwriter, auditioned for one of Jamaica's new elite record producers, Leslie Kong, owner of the recently launched Beverley's Records label. After performing a number of original compositions, a deal was secured and within weeks, Desmond Adolphus Dacres saw his name in print as 'Desmond Dekker' on the labels of what would prove to be the first of his catalogue of 7-inch singles.The record, which coupled two of his own songs, 'Honour Your Mother and Father' and 'Madgie', became an instant best-seller and heralded the beginning of a long and immensely successful run of singles by Dekker, both as a solo artist and later, as lead singer for The Aces.To mark what would have been Desmond's 80th birthday on 16th July 2021, this 2xCD set showcases Dekker's first twenty singles for Kong's Beverley's labels which established him as a true Jamaican superstar.The 2xCD set is presented in a fold out digipack, along with a 12 page booklet with fascinating sleeve notes written by journalist Winston Smith.

This owl is beautiful and certainly better than I'd imagined. Love it.
I've made a journey back to the vinyl records by buying a turntable and amplifier and decided to purchase the division bell on vinyl by pink Floyd as it's one of the best albums I've ever heard..
Great product, quick delivery
Well packed and delivered. Everything as described.
Brought this to go with a Brio train set that was already purchased and the gift receiver loved it.
Had to wait a day or 2 extra so they could get the items in but then I had a quick delivery. Good communications with the seller. Would recommend
I was able to purchase a sealed copy of this long deleted rare edition of album Avonmore via Yachew who shipped it promptly. Their price was the best online.
Can't believe I got this for only £15!
Arrived in good time and was packaged well as expected, as well as a great album so thanks for the quality service.
Love the album, was packaged very well and arrived in good time as well as being kept up-to date along the way.
Great price. Great communication. Fast and secure delivery. Would use again. Happy to recommend.
