Description

Brand New & Sealed       ***Some Sleeve Damage (see description and pics)***

Desmond Dekker and The Specials - King Of Kings Special Music On Vinyl release is limited to 1000 copies on orange vinyl. This copy is numbered 72 of 1000. It comes in the ubiquitous MOV resealable clear pvc sleeve, with the coveted gold embossed MOV sticker. Of course, it was a sell out.

      Postage All records come shipped in a reinforced cardboard record mailer. All shipping is at UK Royal Mail rates. Larger items, such as boxsets, may be shipped using Parcelforce (or other courier service) due to Royal Mail weight restrictions. All shipping prices include insurance for the full value of the item. Multi-purchase discounts available.
      I recycle and reuse all shipping materials, including labels and mailers, wherever possible, and all packaging is completely "plastic-free".

Sleeve damage The rear top right corner of the sleeve has been creased, most likely in the pressing plant. The only visible damage on the front is 2 small dents on the edge of the sleeve in the corresponding area. This is a pity, as it is such a low numbered copy. As a result, I can't describe the sleeve as "Mint". And so it is priced accordingly.

      Desmond Dekker and The Specials - King Of Kings Jamaican Ska and Reggae pioneer Desmond Dekker teams up with British ska revival legends The Specials, for a collection of songs by Dekker's musical heroes.


Desmond Dekker is a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer-songwriter and musician. He was originally a welder by profession, and it was his colleagues that encouraged him to pursue a career in music when they heard him singing in the workplace. He eventually signed a record deal with Beverley's, and grew into one of Jamaica's biggest stars. He is also credited with launching the career of fellow former welder Bob Marley.
In 1993, he released the collaborative album King of Kings with English ska band The Specials, through the famous reggae label Trojan Records. Released under the name Desmond Dekker and The Specials, King of Kings consists of songs by Dekker's musical heroes including Byron Lee, Theophilus Beckford, Jimmy Cliff, and his friend and fellow Kong label artist, Derrick Morgan.
