The Collection

Five Star - The Collection (2013)This Demon 2CD release compiles a lot of key songs by Five Star. A comprehensive collection, but instead of the Hit Mix I'd rather wanted another 12" version that didn't make the Cherry Red album reissues or the Remix Anthology.Most singles are present here in its single version, a few of them unfortunately are the album versions. Guess you can't have it all.Here's the full track listing and the timings. No additional track information means: album version.CD 101. System Addict 4:0302. Rain Or Shine 4:0003. The Slightest Touch (Shep Pettibone 7" Remix) 4:2104. Find The Time (Single Version) 3:5605. Can't Wait Another Minute 4:3106. If I Say Yes (Lew Hahn 7" Remix) 3:4107. Let Me Be The One 4:4108. Love Take Over 3:5509. Are You Man Enough? 4:3910. Someone's In Love 4:2211. Another Weekend (Single Version) 4:0812. Crazy 3:5813. R.S.V.P. (M&M 7" Remix) 3:2614. All Fall Down 3:3215.

There's A Brand New World 3:42A few additional comments on CD 1:* Rain Or Shine doesn't contain the 2 seconds `fairy tale' intro as released on the original 7", neither does the Cherry Red `Silk & Steel' 2010 reissue (but that CD of course contains the album version, so it shouldn't).* In the UK the 7" of Can't Wait Another Minute was released as a single edit (4:11). This compilation offers you the album version, but with a slightly faster fade out.* In the UK the 7" of Let Me Be The One was released as an edit (3:40).* This compilation offers you the album version of Love Take Over, but with a slightly faster fade out.* The 7" of Are You Man Enough? got the Shep Pettibone 7" remix, which can be found on the Remix Anthology (Disc 2).* In the US the 7" of Someone's In Love got remixed by David Morales (4:09). That version can be found on the Rock My World reissue.* This compilation offers you the album versions of Hot Love and Ain't Watcha Do, but with a slightly faster fade out.* The 7" of There's A Brand New World got remixed (4:08). This compilation however offers you the album version with a slightly faster fade out.CD 201. Stay Out Of My Life 4:0002. Whenever You're Ready 4:1503. Strong As Steel (Single Version) 4:2704. Treat Me Like A Lady 4:2005. Rock My World 4:0806. With Every Heartbeat 4:1007. Hide And Seek 5:3208. The Slightest Touch (The Pettibone Touch Remix) 6:5309. Love Take Over (The Limit Edition Mix) 6:2210. Another Weekend (Saturday Night Mix) 6:1411. Shine 4:4712. Let Me Be Yours (Remix) 5:3413. Find The Time (Midnight Mix) 6:5214. Five Star Hit Mix (Mixed By Dakeyne For DMC 1987) 12:08A few additional comments on CD 2:* In the UK the 7" of Treat Me Like A Lady got remixed (4:10).* With Every Heartbeat is sometimes labelled as a 7" Mix, but there's only one version: the regular (non-LP) version.* Love Take Over (The Limit Edition Mix): the Cherry Red `Luxury Of life' 2010 reissue mistakenly calls this The Limited Edition Mix.* The 7" of Shine was released as an LP edit (4:00).Did I make any mistakes or do you wish to make additional remarks? Please write a comment.

An absolute great collection of tracks from Five Star . All the big hits included here, with some rarer tracks and superb extended and remix versions too. A great value double CD set to take you back to the best of the 80's. Can't wait another minute sounds as good now as it did back then, and Rain or Shine remains a classic among classics. Five stars for Five Star !

Great CD if you liked the songs of 5⭐

It is a wonderful cd

It was as good as I thought it would be, thank you Amazon, it is a pity that FIVE STAR have stopped recording, they were a very good group, their style was unique, I am sure that thousands of fans were very surprised when they stopped making C/Ds'Leonard Franklin Ellis.

I love the CD. Most my favorite songs by Five Star are on there. Their music is timeless. I recommend this collection for any Five Star fan out there.

Saw them at Scarborough OAT last year (2016). Bought this to remind me of their eighties heyday.
