Official Audio for a long lost version of 'Pretty Africa' by Desmond Dekker and the Aces
In the summer of 1973, London-based reggae producers, Bruce White and Tony Cousins oversaw recording sessions at Chalk Farm Studio at which Desmond Dekker and his long-standing vocal group, the Aces, voiced a dozen Jamaican-produced backing tracks with the intention of releasing the finished masters on a new album.
Yet, for reasons lost in the mists of time, the LP never saw issue, but rather languished in the Trojan vaults for over four decades before finally being discovered last year.
Here is the leading track from that recording session - Pretty Africa
The full album including all unreleased recordings from this 1973 session was released on LP via Record Store Day on April 13th 2019.
