Not his own work or dubs, but this is a mighty selection of top Island dubs. > **[Jah Shaka - Dub Masters Volume 1](https://www.discogs.com/master/99194-Jah-Shaka-Dub-Masters-Volume-1)** > > Explore songs, recommendations, and other album details for Dub Masters Volume 1 by Jah Shaka. Compare different versions and buy them all on Discogs. I never caught him live - and must admit that I’ve never fully connected with what CDs and vinyl I have of his. Why I’m not sure. Perhaps his major strength was in the soundsystem. Certainly my speakers couldn’t compare. By all reports, his was among the most powerful of sounds and he was a significant cultural presence. And still working! He has an appearance as himself in _Babylon_. Fortunately, our library has it on DVD and it’s on its way. I’m looking for the 2005 CD reissue of the soundtrack, > **[Various - Babylon (The Original Soundtrack)](https://www.discogs.com/release/21161761-Various-Babylon-The-Original-Soundtrack)** > > View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2005 CD release of "Babylon (The Original Soundtrack)" on Discogs. but it’s fetching somewhat silly money by the time shipping is added on. Any leads or charitable donations will be gratefully received. I liked Benny Ill’s **Rest in Power** tweet as seen here: > **[Dub and reggae icon Jah Shaka has died](https://mixmag.net/read/dub-reggae-icon-jah-shaka-died-soundsystem-roots-news)** > > Benny Ill was among those to share the news about the ‘Warrior Style’ artist and soundsystem pioneer And there’s a great photo from Mad Professor further down the same page of him and Shaka with Lee Scratch Perry whose face is almost entirely obscured by his sparking up. Must have been before he apparently gave up the herb. Another RIP pioneer. ---
