Our Take

Desmond Dekker is back, baby, and he's live at Basins Nightclub in 1987. This reggae legend knows how to work a crowd, and this album captures all the energy and excitement of a Dekker performance.

From the moment he takes the stage, it's clear that Dekker is in his element. His smooth vocals and infectious grooves get the audience dancing from the first note to the last. The band is tight, the sound is crisp, and every song is a hit.

On tracks like "Israelites" and "007 (Shanty Town)", Dekker proves that he's still got it. His voice is as powerful as ever, and his charisma shines through on every song. The crowd can't get enough, and neither can we.

But Dekker isn't content to just play the hits. He also throws in some deep cuts and unexpected covers, showing off his versatility and keeping the audience on their toes. It's a masterclass in showmanship, and Dekker is the ultimate teacher.

So if you're looking for a good time, look no further than "Desmond Dekker Live At Basins Nightclub 1987". It's a wild ride from start to finish, and you won't want to get off. Trust us, you won't regret it.
