#record-stores

On the corner of Jamaica Avenue and 170 th Street in New York City's Jamaica, Queens neighbourhood lies a record store with a humble, retro blue and yellow frontage. " VP Records: Miles Ahead in Reggae," it reads. Named after its founders Vincent "Randy" Chin and Patricia "Miss Pat" Chin, the store was first opened by the pair in the Jamaica area in 1979 after they relocated from their home country of Jamaica.
