A Reggae label, owned by Count Shelly and handled by Third World. Catalogue numbers suggest that Penguin issued at least eighteen 7" singles during 1975-77, but I haven't found any trace of PEN-12 as yet; it followed them up with a couple of 12" singles in or around 1980. Numbering was in a PEN-0 series which sometimes gained an extra zero at the start of the number. 'Music Master' lists several early Penguin singles as being made available through wholesaler Lugton in 1979; it says that distribution of some of the later singles was by Daddy Kool. The few singles that I have seen in the vinyl have been Orlake pressings.
