A time capsule of Long Island boogie-funk history officially reissued for the first time!
Founded in 1978 in Amityville, Long Island, VAP Records (Virgin Archer Production) became a cult independent label known for its infectious dance grooves, soulful vocals, and DJ-friendly 12 singles that lit up clubs from New York to beyond. Now, for the very first time, the labels most iconic tracks are compiled on vinyl in one explosive package.
Whats inside?
This final edition includes the best of VAPs rare 19791983 output, with tracks from the labels flagship act Final Edition (No Limit, Betcha Cant Love Just One, Were Moving On Straight Ahead), alongside club favorite Broadway Lets Make It, plus deep gems from Kevin Keys, Jazzee, and Olivia McClurkin.
Why is this essential?
Betcha Cant Love Just One gained legendary status after appearing on General Hospital and HBOs How to Make It in America.
Armand Van Heldens old-school remake of Final Editions B-side I Can Do It Anyway You Want went viral, surpassing 10+ million views on YouTube, proving these grooves still ignite dancefloors.
Original VAP 12 singles are impossible to find and often sell for hundreds of dollars. This reissue brings those classics back, mastered from the original tapes.
Collectors, DJs, and boogie enthusiasts this one is for you. With its blend of raw disco energy, soul-drenched vocals, and timeless funk, Best of VAP Records Final Edition is not just a compilation, but a celebration of a family-run label whose legacy shaped the underground dance scene.
