VP Records
celebrated 40 years in New York City in 2019. With origins in Kingston, Jamaica in the late 1950s as Randy’s Record Mart, Vincent and Patricia Chin’s small used record business would grow to become one of the world’s largest independent record labels, with a catalog of 25,000 recordings. The VP and Randy’s story is woven into the story of Jamaican music itself, from ska to rocksteady to reggae to dub to dancehall. As the new decade turns, VP continues to guide a reggae journey for all to enjoy.
