ETHNIC
RECORDS
Independent Reggae label: Ethnic records issued singles from 1973-83 and was owned by Larry
Lawrence; its 7" releases appear to have been confined to the first three years
of that period. A report in Billboard magazine for the 24th of March 1973
says that the label was to be launched by Creole; presumably Lawrence had made a
handling agreement with that company. Catalogue numbers suggest that
Ethnic issued more than forty singles, but some of the numbers seem not to have
been used. The design and colours of its label changed several times,
in addition to which several different numbering schemes seem to have been used:
they started out with ETH-1000, soon dropped a '0' to become ETH-100, and
lost another '0' shortly after reaching double figures, becoming simple
ETH-10. In 1975 Ethnic was merged with another of Lawrence's
labels, Fight Records, resulting in the formation of a joint label,
Ethnic Fight, which appears to have replaced Ethnic, at least as far as 7"
releases are concerned. In 1978 the two constituent parts separated, though
they seem to have concentrated on 12" releases from that point. most
singles were Orlake pressings. Ethnic Records Former
