A member of the Pama group. The only single on the Star label that I have seen in the vinyl is the first one shown above, 'The Touch Of Love', by Shelly; it was listed under 'Reggae' but it turned out to be Orchestrated Pop of the Sandie Shaw variety. It had the catalogue number STAR-2, and it dates from 1973. As yet the identity of STAR-1 - if there was one - remains to be discovered. A second series of Star singles appeared from 1978-c.84, this time as a product of the Palmer Brothers' new Jet Star company; these were numbered in the PTP-1000s and seem to have come out mainly in the 12" format, though at least one 7" appeared: the Tapper Zukie & Horace Andy record shown above, 'Natty Dread A Weh She Want' (PTP-1020; 1979). Thanks to Robert Bowes for that scan.
