Hey folks I was hoping somebody on the board could
help me find out some info about the Vista Sounds label.
I did a bit of poking around on the web and couldn't find anything
about their history.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Re: Vista Sounds Info
Have you tried using the label search facility , here at RA ? It will give you a direct link also to Tapir`s Discography as well .
Edit to the thread ! There is a very good breakdown of the formation of Vista Sounds in the book " Tighten Up ! - The History Of Reggae In The UK " by Michael de Koningh & Marc Griffiths . If you REALLY need this information , PM me and I will type it out word for word . Hmmm......

The discography part is readily available, I was just looking for the history part.
I'll probably just track down that book.
Thanks!
