Intensified
DESMOND DEKKER AND THE
ACES
A wonderful set of rocksteady and early reggae
bounding harmonies of Desmond Dekker and the Aces.
The follow-up to their Action! predecessor, Intensified
features the major hits ‘Poor Me Israelites’ and ‘Ah It Mek’
which topped the UK & US charts in the late 60s & early/
mid 70s.
Also featured on the album is the punchy ‘Sweet Music’, a
celebration of those knock-out vocal harmonies, where
Dekker is at his best. With the great ‘Rude Boy Train’,
Dekker was a precursor to the ‘rude boy’ phenomenon,
which has since become a mainstay in reggae songs.

Desmond Dekker’s unique high voice backed up with
crucial contributions from the Aces
• First-ever vinyl reissue
• Newly remastered
• Includes exclusive in-depth sleeve notes by Reggae
authority John Masour
