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?????

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

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
