17 North Parade is an imprint of VP Records, established in 2007. The label takes its name from the second location of Randy's Record Mart at 17 North Parade in Kingston, Jamaica, which was founded in 1962. Previously located at 36 East Street, this iconic record store played a significant role in the downtown Kingston music scene during its prime.

As a label, 17 North Parade focuses on reissuing material that falls outside of the mainline VP Records and Greensleeves Records brands and catalog history. They bring to light music that was produced during the heyday of downtown Kingston's vibrant music scene, contemporaneous with Randy's Record Mart.

With an extensive collection of *artists* and performers under their roster, 17 North Parade offers a diverse range of reissued albums for music enthusiasts to explore. Their commitment to preserving and sharing these historic recordings ensures that fans can experience the rich musical heritage rooted in Jamaican culture.

Culture's Joe Gibbs-produced sessions of 1976 not only resulted in Two Sevens Clash -- they also gave us the excellent Baldhead Bridge. A true reggae classic, Baldhead Bridge points to the fact that Culture was among the most distinctive reggae acts to emerge in the '70s. Although Culture was influenced by Burning Spear, treasures like "Them a Payaka," "Jah Love" and "Love Shines Brighter" point to the fact that Culture's music is quite recognizable itself. The group gets a lot of its sweetness from the northern soul and sweet soul of the '60s and '70s -- while hearing this LP, listeners are reminded of the impact that the Delfonics, the Impressions and other soul favorites had on reggae. But Culture's sound also owes a debt to Afro-Caribbean music and African pop. Put all those influences together, and you have a group that sounded incredibly fresh to the many reggae fans who discovered its music in the late '70s. Like Two Sevens Clash, Baldhead Bridge is among Culture's most essential releases.
