I only have his Jah Shaka album Morning Train, can anyone recommend any earlier compilations of his work? Are there any compilations currently available?

The Trojan comp "Bangarang" is fantastic. http://roots-archives.com/release/2925 It's one of the best Trojan comps ever.

There is a Rock-A-Shacka comp (with Patsy) which also is fine but less crucial. http://www.rock-a-shacka.com/release/vol_15.html

He is touring Australia soon with King Tide and others.

The Rock a Shaka series are excellent

There are some brilliant Cole tunes done at Wackie's New York during the late 1970s early 1980s. No compilation but still very good material.
