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.
