Artist History The VP Album was created in 1981 from continuing requests from U.S. Navy military friends to offer a vinyl record of songs specifically written for the Navy's Patrol Squadron community. The album enjoyed success throughout the military. Recently, requests for THE VP ALBUM on compact disc have prompted the remastering and release in this format. The album is in demand as gifts, momentos, and military memorabilia. Military reunions have sparked further interest in THE VP ALBUM, to assist in raising funds.
