SUNSHOT

   

A Reggae label, operated by Phil Pratt.  Sunshot started out in Jamaica in 1966; it issued singles in Britain from 1975-c.78, using an SS-000 numerical series.  The first single, Keith Poppin's 'Envious', came in two different label designs, one of which is presumably a later pressing than the other.  There were two singles numbered SS-003; Pat Kelly's 'Soul Love' had the same 'triangle' design as that of the last Keith Poppin single shown above (5); I would guess that these were later than the other issues.  Googling reveals several other singles numbered from SS-20 up and in the PP-00s, but as I haven't been able to pin them down to a year I haven't included them in the discography below.  They can be found on Tapir's Reggae Discography site; some, with illustrations, are on the 45cat site.  Thanks to Robert Bowes, who supplied all the scans except the third.
