RANDY'S
A Reggae label; part of
the Trojan group. Randy's was initially an outlet for Vincent Chin
productions. It put out approximately thirty-five singles during the period 1970-73; catalogue numbers were
in a RAN-500 series. The first four labels were plain,
as the example kindly provided by Robert Bowes
demonstrates (1); later ones, from at least RAN-505, were more adventurous
(2). The text 'Made in England' appeared on records from RAN-514 onwards.
Manufacture seems to have been generally by Orlake, as it
was for most of Trojan's products at the
time.
