You'd better search a little more by yourself...
VP Records is the largest independant reggae company in the world !

1. class labels by producer and/or owner (ignore sublabels), owner may have change since date of production (ie : Greensleeves is now part of VP)

Example : Impact => Randy's => VP Records

Search roots-archives.com or
http://reggaelicious.pbworks.com/

2. search for producer's contact
