Desmond Dekker Action!

What a great performance shot of the recently departed Desmond Dekker. This is an early ska record (1967) on Beverley’s Records out of Kingston, Jamaica. This was produced by Leslie Kong and includes Dekker’s first hit “007” (but surprisingly not the song “Action” – one of my favorites).

Bond, Joyce Bond

This is a great record on the pink UK Island label. I just love the cool picture of Joyce with both guns drawn. There’s a killer version of “007,” the Leslie Kong song that Desmond Dekker made a hit the year before, on here. This came out in 1967.
