![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.

Ordered a game from YACHEW. Great product & fantastic delivery, service will happily recommend this company.
Ma commande est arrivé en moins de 2 semaines, dans un emballage qui n’est pas abîmé tout comme la figurine qui n’a aucun défauts, il y a tous les accessoires. Je recommande de l’acheter à 100% de plus ce site est l’un des seuls sites vraiment fiables où vous trouverez cette figurine à un bon prix et une très bonne qualité sachant qu’elle commence à être en rupture de stock. PS: achetez cette figurine uniquement ici, je l’avais commandé sur Amaz*n pour un peu moins cher pour au final recevoir autre chose et donc me faire arnaquer. Sinon super bonne expérience avec YACHEW je rachèterai sûrement.
I bought two Star Wars X-Wing expansions from Yachew. One expansion arrived damaged, but Paul from Customer Services was fantastic, quickly refunding me. I've got to say that Yachew's customer service is amongst the best I've encountered and I can't wait to shop with them again!
Fantastic item,fast delivery brilliant service.will return many times. Thanks 😊
