Album issued in CD for the first time. Includes major chart hit, 'It Meik'.Many tracks unavailable for decades. Making his mark on the international recording scene with a series of global hits in the late Sixties and early Seventies, Desmond Dekker enjoyed success on a scale no other Jamaican act had experienced.So in 1972, when the singer left the world's leading reggae record company, Trojan Records, to join the newly launched rival Creole, the move sent shockwaves through the UK's music industry. In response, Trojan gathered some of the singer's biggest hits alongside rare and previously unreleased material from the archive, which they issued on the aptly-titled double LP set, "Double Dekker". Much to the chagrin of Creole, the collection swiftly became one of Trojan's biggest selling long players of 1973, its release eclipsing the singer's recently recorded work for his new label. Now, 45 years after its original release, "Double Dekker" is finally available once more, with the track-listing augmented with six rare bonus tracks. Avoiding any cross-over of material with companion volumes, "You Can Get It If You Really Want" (DBCD015) and "Action! & Intensified" (DBCDD025), the collection ensures Desmond Dekker's entire Leslie Kong-produced rock steady and reggae output is available for the much-missed performer's fans.

Important Update on Royal Mail 2nd Class Delivery Service

Recent changes to the Royal Mail 2nd Class service have altered the delivery schedule, impacting how and when parcels and letters reach their destinations. Understanding these adjustments is essential for planning your postage and managing expectations around delivery times.

Revised Delivery Schedule

Royal Mail now delivers 2nd Class items on a variable weekly timetable: deliveries occur only two days in one week, followed by three days the next week, alternating continuously. This new pattern means that delivery days are not consistent each week, which can affect when your items are received.

Extended Delivery Times

Due to this staggered schedule, 2nd Class items can take up to 10 working days for delivery, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. This represents a significant increase compared to previous expectations and requires customers to allow more time for their mail to arrive.

Options for Faster Delivery

If you require your items to reach their destination more quickly, faster postage options are available. These can be selected from the drop-down postage menu when sending your parcel or letter. Choosing a quicker service ensures more predictable delivery times and reduces waiting periods.

Conclusion

While the Royal Mail 2nd Class service remains an economical choice, its new delivery pattern and extended times necessitate careful consideration. For urgent or time-sensitive items, opting for expedited services is advisable to meet your delivery needs efficiently.
