Bunny Marrett - Times Are Getting Harder 12"
€22.00
For someone who had been performing since childhood in Jamaica and regularly sang with bands after relocating to the UK as well as writing several songs for other artists, Bunny Marrett was poorly served for contemporary releases. In fact his sole vinyl outing was 1980's “Times Are Getting Harder”, a nice roots vocal with accompanying “Hard Times Dub” released on Gene Walsh's nascent Shoc Wave label.
Gene was still finding his feet in the music industry and still learning the balancing act between copies pressed and potential demand. For “Times Are Getting Harder” Gene kept his costs low and did the minimum pressing run. He also kept costs down with his choice of B side using his pool of local musicians including Joshua Moses to provide a brace of dub tracks, “Running Dub” and “Creation Dub” enigmatically credited to Don Gordon.
