TORPEDO
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Torpedo Records was started by
Eddie Grant and intended to feature mainly British artists; Grant sold it in
1972, because he was suffering from health problems at the time. Torpedo
issued records in two separate periods: first in 1970, then in
1974-75. It released fifty-seven singles, numbering them in a TOR-0
series; it reached TOR-28 before the break and the started up again at
TOR-30. The same basic label design was used from start to finish, but it
came in several different colour schemes. The 1970s releases were
purple-on-lime-green; after the break the label turned sea-green and the
printing was silver. From TOR-37 onwards the purple-and-lime-green colour
returned, the lime green turning yellow at times. For the second half of
its existence the label was part of the President family, and demos from that
period have a large hollow red 'A' on them, after the President style of that
period. Distributed By Enterprise and President Records. Thanks to
Robert Lyons For The Info.
