Post Description
After forming the ‘Top Deck’ sound system with his brother Ivan, Phillip ‘Justin’ Yap launched his label of the same name in 1962. Initial releases by local vocal acts sold moderately, but the following year, he made it into the big time with popular 45s featuring the leading trumpeter, Baba Brooks.
Over the next few years, up until his departure for the US in 1966, the young producer’s run of hits continued, due in no small part to his employment of the exceptional talents of Jamaica’s number one band, the Skatalites.
The Ska Vocals: 40 Crucial Vocal Classics 2-CD collection brings together the very best in the label’s vocal recordings, from the earliest singles by Joe G. Henry, through to the hugely collectable works of Barbadian-born singer, Jackie Opel.
