Taken from the summer of 1986 these are the original Sony V8 - TopicsExpress

Taken from the summer of 1986 these are the original Sony V8 masters digitised. I have decided, after all these years to upload, as these now represent an excellent view into the history of Reggae sound system & culture in London during Jah Shakas greatest period. My self and a close friend approached Jah Shaka in 1986 and asked permission to record him, fully expecting to be declined, but to our surprise he didnt, in fact he welcomed us and was very happy with the idea. We agreed that these pictures would always be his, and we would never seek commercial gain and we havent...ever! (although some small clips have leaked over the years) All we wanted was a record of his excellence. I believe this excellence now should be seen by all. These videos show why he is the King of the sound system. His musical knowledge and sense of timing and live mixing skills means he delivers an enchanting and mesmerising performance. He IS Jah Shaka, the Great Warrior! - Jim Baker
