Stars Riddim pulls together a deep roots selection across multiple labels, with the post pointing to 1969 as the key starting point and credits tied to names like King Jammy, Bunny Striker Lee, Coxsone Dodd, Bobby Digital, Webster Shrowder, Pete Weston, I-Roy, Henry Lawes, Errol Lewis, Errol Marshall and Phillip Burrell. The lineup moves from Cornell Campbell and The Eternals’ Stars and Cornell Campbell’s later version of the tune to cuts like Augustus Pablo’s The Great Pablo, Beres Hammond’s Full Attention, Clint Eastwood’s What A Hard Man Fe Dead and Edi Fitzroy’s Oh Jah, giving the riddim a mix of classic roots, dub and later reworks. Cornell Campbell’s Stars is the anchor here, and the various versions give the release its identity as a long-running foundation rhythm that has carried through Studio One-era roots and later dancehall and dub interpretations.
