Tapper Zukie is not only a successful recording artist in his own right, but a well-respected producer as well. In the mid-1970s he set up his own record label, Stars, to help nurture the many artists who were rising in Kingston, Jamaica. In doing so he created a great catalog of reggae music that few artists have bettered. For this release - with the help of Tapper Zukie himself - Kingston Sounds has selected the highlights of the Stars label. Includes tracks by Junior Ross & The Spears, Prince Alla, Linford Nugent, Cornell Campbell, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, The Mighty Diamonds, Rockey Dread, Ronnie Davis, Freddy McKay, Alton Ellis, and Frankie Jones.
