## About <!--about-->
Runt is a small record label group founded in 1996 and originally based between Florence, Italy and San Francisco; Discogs lists its address as 101 Glacier Point, San Rafael, California, and its exclusive labels as 4 Men With Beards, DBK Works, Plain Recordings and Water, distributed by City Hall Records since 2007.[^discogs-runt] Plain Recordings, one of its labels, reissued Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine on double vinyl in 2011.[^discogs-3123337]

The GS1 company prefix 0646315 is attributed to Runt by inference: Discogs transcribes barcodes beginning 646315 on releases of Plain Recordings (plain141 to plain174), 4 Men With Beards and DBK Works alike, and names Runt as the group those labels belong to.[^discogs-runt]
