ALLSTAR
A Reggae label. Mark Griffiths writes that Allstar
was owned by David Sinclair (a.k.a. Tapper Zukie) and was named after his record
shop, which was on the Harrow Road, London. It seems to have issued just
the one record, 'Run Come Dally' b/w 'Dally In Dub' by DJ Trevor Grant under his
alias of Ranking Superstar - he also recorded as Ranking Trevor.
The single had a catalogue number of AS-010. Mark Griffiths suggests 1978
as the year of issue; Charlie Chalk of the 45cat site, who kindly supplied
the scan, prefers 1977. For other labels owned by David Sinclair see
Stars, New Star and Achilles.
