hi lionkall
[cover=3358,3615]
...get immediately **jah works** from **vivian jones** and let me know !!!
unfortuantely i have experimented that all shaka recent reissues have a low output volume so it would be great to collect only originals from that label...i warned u !!

There is a "sequel" to that album, called "Hits from the House of Jah Shaka - The Message 2" -
http://shaka.reggaeclub.org/hitsfromthehouse.html Despite the 1987 release date, it's all real instrumental riddims.
Also "Commandments of Dub Part 2" has extra dubs to the songs on "Message from Africa", and is one of my favorite dub albums of all time.

You should check :
King's Music and Revelation Songs on the Shaka Label, both great releases.

Hi Lioncall.
If you like "Message From Africa", then you will definately like Junior Brown and Jah Shaka "Fly Me Away Home"

Brilliant album imo

Also on Jah Shaka label from around the same time and in similar style are Twinkle Brothers - The Right Way and Jah Shaka meets (Sgt) Pepper at Addis Ababa Studios. Both are tuff albums!
