Big Shot started life as a subsidiary of Island records in 1968, the label became part of the Trojan group with it's formation the same year. A very succesful label mainly due to the rude records issued on it by Judge Dread that consistantly charted (Big Six - UK Pop No11, Big Seven - No8, Big Eight - No14) it soldiered on to 1975 releasing 130 singles and a number of albums on the way.
Reggae Girl - The Tennors/Donkey Trot - Clive's All Stars. The first issue on the label and a superb example of early reggae.
Night Food Reggae - Nora Dean/Jaco - The Prophets. The label changed to plain orange around about BI-600. At least one record, Big Six by Judge Dread, appeared with the yellow /orange and the plain orange labels.
