Prince Far I was a Jamaican deejay known for his powerful voice and unique style. He not only made music, but also ran his own label called Cry Tuff. Tragically, the Voice of Thunder was shot to death in his home on September 15, 1983 at the age of 39.

With his distinct sound and lyrical prowess, Prince Far I has influenced many artists in the reggae genre. Some similar artists include *Yabby You*, *Keith Hudson*, *Prince Jammy*, *Tapper Zukie*, *Mikey Dread*, and *The Revolutionaries*. These talented performers have all been inspired by Prince Far I's contributions to the music industry.

Although he left us too soon, Prince Far I's legacy lives on through his influential music and label. His impact can still be felt today as new generations continue to discover and appreciate his work.

17 North Parade is an imprint of VP Records, established in 2007. The label takes its name from the second location of Randy's Record Mart at 17 North Parade in Kingston, Jamaica, which was founded in 1962. Previously located at 36 East Street, this iconic record store played a significant role in the downtown Kingston music scene during its prime.

As a label, 17 North Parade focuses on reissuing material that falls outside of the mainline VP Records and Greensleeves Records brands and catalog history. They bring to light music that was produced during the heyday of downtown Kingston's vibrant music scene, contemporaneous with Randy's Record Mart.

With an extensive collection of *artists* and performers under their roster, 17 North Parade offers a diverse range of reissued albums for music enthusiasts to explore. Their commitment to preserving and sharing these historic recordings ensures that fans can experience the rich musical heritage rooted in Jamaican culture.

Back In Stock

During the latter half of the seventies very few came close to emulating the success of the productions of Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson. 'The Mighty Two' took the greatest of Kingston's musical and technical innovations and transformed the cutting edge into a commercial proposition that crossed over to the rest of the world.

Under Heavy Manners was an essential purchase as well as a defining statement on the sombre mood of the times in the year that two sevens clash and forty years after its original release, the raw reality of Under Heavy Manners continues to hit home.
