VP Records is a US-based record company, label, and distributor founded by Vincent "Randy" Chin and his wife Patricia Chin. It is globally recognized as the largest independent reggae label. The Chins moved from Jamaica in 1977 and established their store in the vibrant neighborhood of Queens, New York. With over 25,000 titles under its belt, VP Records acquired Greensleeves Records and was named the Billboard reggae label of the year in 1999. They have also collaborated with major labels like Atlantic Records for licensing deals. VP Music Group, Inc., handles all copyright matters while VP Mastering takes care of the mastering studio operations.

The success of VP Records can be attributed to its strong foundation built by Vincent and Patricia Chin.

Box Sets

'Rootsman Vibrations At King Jammy's collects up four off Prince Jammy most sought after roots testaments. Folly Ranking issued in 1980 at the height of Johnny Osbourne fever contains some of Bumpy's best performances including 'Mr Walker', 'Jah Over', 'Trench Town School' and of course the massive hit title track. The year also saw the crucial pairing of Hugh Mundell and Lacksley Castell for the release of the Jah Fire roots summit. With Mundell performing at his peak for 'Jah Fire', 'Walk With Jah' and 'King Of Israel' and Lacksley Castell delivering in his signature Waterhouse style on tracks like 'Be My Princess' and 'Million Miles', Jah Fire reminds us what a tragic loss the music world suffered when these two shining talents were taken from us so young. Barry Brown's Showcase album from the same year was unleashed in true drum and bass Jammy fashion with 'Best Thing In Life', 'It Ago Dread', 'School Days' etc. stretching out twelve inch style to deliver a Waterhouse rock solid vocal and dub masterpiece. Noel Phillips big break came when Jammy voiced the Maverley youth for the classic 'Youth Man' / 'Living In The Ghetto' double-sider. It's success would lead to the release the following year of the Youth Man Vibrations album and it's ten tracks did not disappoint. As well as both sides of the aforementioned single many further classics were to be found including 'Money Man Skank' and while Noel would go on to even greater success as Echo Minott, for many it's these early roots recordings that are still his most in-demand and affectionately remembered cuts.
