SHOOTING STAR
RECORDS
Shooting Star Records was a DIY label. There appear to
have been two Shooting Star labels during the period 1979-80, which seems a bit
of a coincidence: I suppose they may have been connected. This one used an SSR-0
numbering series as opposed to the 'SHOOT-0' of the other, and was responsible
for a pair of singles by The Rest: 'Carnival' (SSR-1; 1979) and 'My House'
(SSR-2; 1980). The producer of 'Carnival', Laurence Diana, worked at
Advision Studios as an engineer and went on to produce records by Modern Eon
among others. The Rest's records have been described as 'Rock' and
'Post-Punk'. Distributed By Shooting Star Records. Thanks to
