Sources: The P&P Anthology
Three CD set. Sources is a series that examines the output of a number of extremely influential independent U.S. labels throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Includes lovingly remastered original 12" mixes, many of which have never made it to CD before. This fifth Sources package comes from one of the most collectible Black Music labels of all-time - the highly enigmatic and mysterious P&P Records. P&P Records was the company founded by Harlem based Peter Brown - an operator of the highest degree in terms of productivity and the sheer amount of releases which came out on a bewildering array of labels like P&P, PAP, Land Of Hits, Heavenly Star, Golden Flamingo, Sound Of New York, Tyson, Sound Of The Universe, Hit Makers Of America, Lonnie, Clarence Music, Queen Constance and La Shawn amongst the ones which are known. Most of these releases were personally distributed by Peter Brown throughout Harlem and New York but most through the independent and 'Mom & Pop' stores which meant their distribution was limited and mainly within the New York area. P&P Records is such an enigma that untangling the releases, different labels and year of release is an ongoing task. Some P&P Records have only recently been discovered, some P&P releases have never been found and there will be several P&P releases that have yet to be unearthed. Sources: The P&P Records Soul & Disco Anthology has been extensively remastered so that these records can be heard properly for perhaps the first time. The collectors of P&P were right. The scope and diversity of P&P Records is testament to the hustling skills of Peter Brown - perhaps the ultimate Harlem hustler. Who'd have thought that a scuffling set of badly-distributed Ghetto records from the '70s and '80s, would become the most collectible labels in the world some 40 years later?
