1970s roots and early reggae shape the 1969 Guiding Star Riddim, a Studio One, Kickin and Star Trail set tied to Coxsone Dodd and a wide circle of classic Jamaican producers. The lineup pulls together names like Augustus Pablo, Horace Andy, Errol Dunkley, Freddie McGregor, Carlton Livingston, Anthony B and Garnett Silk, with versions and dubs sitting alongside the vocal cuts. Among the most notable selections are Horace Andy’s My Guiding Star, Errol Dunkley’s Jah Guiding Star, Augustus Pablo’s My Guiding Red, and Anthony B and Garnett Silk’s World In Trouble, giving the set a strong mix of foundation roots and later reggae voices. It’s a big archive-style collection with 28 tracks and 25 unique artists, and the title also points back to the Guiding Star tune family that circles through Studio One’s deep catalog.
