Fashion Records

[Gee]

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the label will ever repress their wealth of material? I know I would purchase a lot of it!

Maybe someone knew the staff or has inside knowledge?????

I've never found one record I liked on this label. Please prove me wrong.

Theres one or two things on this label that are alright, its not my favourite but i believe theres a few good Junior Delgado tunes on it?

In general, I agree with this, listened to a fair amount of things on this label but was hardly ever moved enough to purchase.

One that I did like enough to buy was Pato Banton's 'Aint What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It) - that one had some swing to it...

I think it would depend on what kind of reggae you like, if you like roots you might never find a good song on some amazing dancehall labels....

I myself like a good amount of records on the fashion, though ive come across some that are not so great, but what else is new.

Some records i like on fashion:

Papa san & tippa irie clash LP
Asher Senator - born to chat LP
asher senator & johnny ringo clash LP ...

start there if you're interested, maybe someone could better advise you im still new to the label

so fashion pop down nowadays? their catalogue contains 1 maxi rite now which is limb by limb, they probably press too much of it in 80s.

Yes Montana is a subsidiary Fashion/A Class
They has also marketed Maximum sound/Fine Style
Fashion stop around 1998 i think
The last 12"/10"/lp i have are Starky Banton & Michael Rose release ina 96/97.

Fashion Records and the team behind the scene should be praised for their knowledge of reggae music, and have been the backbone of distribution for many years
