Shorty Records

The record label of Garfield Blackman (better known as Lord Shorty, later Ras Shorty I).

Mostly used for his own releases, with a few by friends and family, several of which were written by Shorty.

This seems to have been used mostly for Trinidadian release, with many records released on other labels (e.g. Caravan and Charlie's) in North America.
