My Guiding Star Riddim – Unknown Label

My Guiding Star produced by Edmond Brooks, Jah Lloyd for Unknown Label in 1974

Produced by Edmond Brooks and Jah Lloyd on an unknown label in 1974, My Guiding Star Riddim is a three-track roots-era set with Dennis Alcapone’s Me And My Father A Spar, Leroy Sibbles’ Guiding Star, and Tommy McCook’s The Right Track. The combination of deejay, vocal, and instrumental cuts gives it a clear vintage studio-band feel, and the selection of artists points to the kind of deep one-riddim showcase that defined early-’70s Jamaican output. It also ties neatly into the wider Guiding Star line of versions that circulated around the era, with Sibbles and McCook’s cuts lending the package its most recognisable edge.
