What Was First: Island Records
Episode 1379, Jun 06, 2022, 07:00 AM
The week begins with an episode of What Was First! Today, we take a suggestion from some guy named Jim Lenahan to investigate the first release on Island Records.
One of the most influential labels of all time, the Island story goes back 63 years to the island of Jamaica. So hit play and travel back to 1959 where Lance Haywood and his group are playing at the Half Moon Hotel in Montego Bay.
