007 Shanty Town: Magenta Colour Vinyl LP

Desmond Dekker, along with his backing group the Aces (Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard), recorded some of his most famous songs. Their debut album, 007 (Shanty Town), features the hit single of the same name that turned him into Jamaican music's first 'international' superstar, hitting #14 on the UK charts. On this album, you can hear the ska music of the mid - 60s evolving into the rocksteady sound. This is the starting point before Desmond became an international star known for hits like 'Israelites' (1968) and 'It Miek' (1969). The album is a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on magenta - colored vinyl.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and set the tonearm on the outer edge of the vinyl. Sit back and enjoy the unique ska and rocksteady sounds. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface, as they can cause scratches and affect the sound quality. After each use, return the record to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. This limited - edition record is a collectible, so handle it with care to maintain its value.
