VOYAGE INTERNATIONAL



Basically a Reggae label, though it issued some Punk / New Wave singles, such as A.D. 1984's, 'The Russians Are Coming' (VOY-005; 1979).  Mark Griffiths writes that Voyage International was owned by Reg Maclean, the former head of Safari Records, and was associated with Circle International Records (q.v. both).  It appears to have operated from 1979-80; catalogue numbers suggest that it issued at least sixteen singles but some numbers seem not to have been used and it is reported that a couple of releases failed to get past the test pressing stage.  Numbering was in a VOY-000 series, which eventually gained an extra '0'.  According to 'Music Master' distribution was by Pye for the first three singles, after which Pinnacle took over.
