ALBUM: ISRAELITES- ANTOLOGY 1996-99
Out Now
Trojan Records is pleased to release a 2CD anthology that compiles the best of the Reggae/Ska legend. Digitally remastered, it includes an 8 page booklet with informative liner notes, artist biography and pictures.
Desmond Dekker's career is covered from the Ska era (standout track 'Mount Zion'), to Rock |

| steady (the perennial '0.0.7') and Reggae ('Israelites', the first reggae hit in the USA).
Producer Leslie Kong always assured the best of backing, vocally (the Aces) and instrumentally, for his protege. Desmond Dekker has now the ultimate collection that proves his place in Jamaica's musical pantheon. He ranks there with Bob Marley, Toots Hibbert, Gregory Isaacs and John Holt as one of Rock steady and Reggae's greatest voices.
