There appear to have been two Shooting Star labels during the period 1979-80, which seems a bit of a coincidence: I suppose they may have been connected, but as yet I haven't found any evidence that they are linked. This one used an SSR-0 numbering series as opposed to the 'SHOOT-0' of the other, and was responsible for a pair of singles by The Rest: 'Carnival' (SSR-1; 1979) and 'My House' (SSR-2; 1980). The producer of 'Carnival', Laurence Diana, worked at Advision Studios as an engineer and went on to produce records by Modern Eon among others. The Rest's records have been described as 'Rock' and 'Post-Punk'. With them being the only band on the label I suppose Shooting Star could have been theirs, but it looks rather professional for a DIY effort. Thanks to Klepsie of the 45cat site for drawing the label to my attention, and to Nicholas Hough for providing the scan.
