Five Star: The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991 / ten-disc deluxe set
Limited exclusive edition comes with a print SIGNED by Denise Pearson
British pop group Five Star see their career celebrated with a new 9CD+DVD box set Luxury: The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991.
The band were comprised of five siblings – Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy – and were mentored by father Buster who had aspirations for his children to be some kind of Jackson 5 for the 1980s era.
After signing to RCA Records in ’83 the band released their first album, The Luxury of Life, in 1985. It spawned seven singles with the last, System Addict peaking at number three in the UK charts. The next long-player Silk and Steel was where Five Star really consolidated their early success. The album delivered another bucketload of singles, five of which were UK top 10 hits. Four more albums were issued on the RCA/Epic labels ending with Shine, by which point the bands appeal had dwindled to the degree that it was only issued in America.
Edsel’s new box set has been curated by Denise Pearson and features all six albums on CD. Every disc comes with extra tracks, including B-sides. A further three CDs contain around 40 seven-inch and 12-inch versions and remixes – around 25 mixes are new-to-CD. A DVD completes the ten-disc set with more than 25 promotional videos.
This is a large format 12″x12″ deluxe casebound book presentation and it features new notes by Paul Lester who has interviewed Denise Pearson.
1000 only of the limited edition with signed print are available. This are exclusive to Amazon in the UK. A non-limited version without the print can also be ordered.
Luxury: The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991 will be released on 29 June 2018. SDE will be first to bring you the confirmed track listing for this set.
