Featured Label Discography

Top Deck is an important, early Ska label that has been the focus of reissue on CD by the UK label, West Bound, and the original 45s are well documented in the RKR master file. A closer look at those files reveals 11 titles without matrix numbers and 5 numeric gaps remaining in the stamper series. Two matrix numbers are duplicated in the master files and that is a red flag for potential stamper errors.

Notes on the label:
As indicated by the FPY stamper prefix, some titles are clearly designated as Phillip Yap productions. Apart from these titles, some label credits also give production credit to Phillip, with the balance assumed to be Justin Yap. The accuracy of these Top Deck production credits demands more research before they can be considered accurate or confirmed. Additions or corrections are always invited and encouraged.
