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!
CP

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......

Damn that's quite an offer. But that seems crazy!
The discography part is readily available, I was just looking for the history part.
I'll probably just track down that book.
Thanks!

Now that is THE bargain of the week (tu) . You won`t regret this purchase , as it also has a free CD with it !
Also , try and get " Young , Gifted And Black - The Story Of Trojan Records " by Michael de Koningh & Lawrence Cane-Honeysett to complete the picture . This also has a free CD !

Already got that one a few years back, amazing book to be sure.
The discography section is a collectors dream!
