'too early for the record' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'short price i arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
'short'+'price'+'i'='shortpricei'
'shortpricei' anagrammed gives 'PREHISTORIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prehistoric that I've seen before include "Primeval" , "Before written records" , "very early" , "Very old or out of date" , "Ancient" .)
