Desmond Dekker | Intensified | Album

Intensified by Desmond Dekker & The Aces is an essential cornerstone of early Jamaican popular music, capturing the exact, golden moment when fast-paced ska cooled down into the soulful groove of rocksteady and early reggae. Released originally in late 1968 under Leslie Kong's legendary Beverley's Records, the album served as a masterclass in vocal harmony and rhythmic songwriting. It captures Dekker at the absolute peak of his creative powers right before exploding into global stardom.
