Featuring 101 different artists, Down In Jamaica tells this story in detail through a chronological survey of the key records that helped define the company, from early singles on obscure sublabels to the well-known VP Records brand that brought Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Wayne Wonder, and others into the international mainstream. Curated by noted writer, DJ, and reggae historian Carter Van Pelt, the set contains four 7-inch singles, four 12-inch singles, and four CDs, the first configuration of its kind for a box set package. The singles format was the dominant vehicle for Jamaican music from its inception, and the collection tells the company’s story almost entirely from sin- gles, taking its name from Red Fox and Naturalee’s 1989 record. 2,000 unit Limited Edition European pressing Includes first time reissue of some of the most collectible vinyl records in the VP catalog, plus 4CDs of hit tracks. The set culminates VP Records’ 40th Anniversary celebrations. Targeted to holiday gift market and vinyl collectors. Physical only release until December 2019.
