never heard of it. Is it produced by Shaka? Probably not.
Played by shaka...most likely digital roots selection popularised in the UK via Shaka sound system. Any clues on song titles? would help.

Are you talking about the infamous "Cocoa Tea - Self Titled" lp on Firehouse and Jimpy's International?

Yes but beware, least the Jimpys press is mashed. Levels are all over the place with vocals and riddim dropping up and down. Some tracks more than others. Shame as it really has some outstanding tracks and to look at the LP it looks mint. Comes in a plain 12 disco jacket. Be careful what you pay for it if it does come your way. All that glitter aint gold in this case !!
