Desmond Dekker - Compass Point

Another Stiff recording, the tracks to look out for are ''Come Back To Me'' and ''Allamanna'', both are exquisite. Desmond Dekker to me reminds me of my grandparent's home in the Scottish Highlands, it is where I first really explored his music in 2017, I had only listened to the songs from The Harder They Come, so when I explored his best of for the first time I was struck to how perfect his voice truly is and its captured beautifully in these few recordings later on in his career. He was a very talented singer and some of his classics like ''It Pays'' are truly graced with an unflinching harmony that will honestly never be replicated. Some of the Trojan recordings will never be matched, simple as that.
