1969

PROBLEMS * DESMOND DEKKER AND THE ACES * PYRAMID 6068 * UK

Problems - the next side to A It Mek - is a vigorous and clear account of the financial circumstances of the underclass's, most of whom were grounded into a position of financial ignorance through schooling and the media to meet the economic precepts and civic demands of  both the left and right wing governments of the time. The record was released at the height of the British Skinhead movement, and both sides were identifiable with the struggles and hardships of that, mostly working class, section of the youth, helping to give Desmond Dekker poll position in the cannon of Skinhead musical icons.
