Synopsis

Album Description

Originally released in October 1991, Simply Red's album 'Stars' fast became one of the biggest selling albums of both 1991 and 1992 in the UK and across Europe. Considered by many as their greatest work, the album spawned 4 top 10 UK singles and a prestigious 2004 BBC TV documentary as part of Eagle Rock's 'Classic Album' series, repeated again on the BBC in 2006. In October 2007, Simply Red announced that after 25 years, they would disband after their tour in 2009 and no longer record studio albums under the band name. Simply Red have had no less than 22 UK top 20 singles. The remastered release of 'Stars' Collector's Edition in February 2008 will kick-start a series of enhanced re-releases of the Simply Red catalogue such as Stars, A New Flame and Picture Book and be a timely reminder of their amazing career.

CD Reviews

Awesome - A Must Have

barry | Boston, MA United States | 10/12/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Simply Red have always been extremely underrated here in the US and have had some major hits but continuous major success has never happened. STARS was Simply Red's 4th release and stands out as the quintessential Simply Red recording. It is simply a masterpiece and all their capabilities and strengths are put to their best use here. It was the top selling album throughout Europe in 1991 and 1992.

Their music has always been in the jazz genre while being unique and inventive at the same time. Led by the amazing vocals of Mick Hucknall they are truly original. So many tracks stand out here. SOMETHING GOT ME STARTED, THRILL ME, YOUR MIRROR and WONDERLAND are the best and most eclectic though the whole set is of the highest quality.

This 3 disc set is a definite must have for Simply Red fans, jazz fans and fans of quality music. The remastering is excellent with crystal clear sound. The first cd has the original album, sessions that Mick recorded with Robert Johnson and 6 songs recorded live in 1992 Hamburg. Simply Red is one group that sounds even better live. The second disc has 11 remixes of some of their best songs and the third disc is a dvd of their awesome 25 song performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1992.

What more could you ask for? Simply Red have said that they will record no more new music so having remastered cds such as this with amazing bonus material is a must have. Even if you aren't familiar with Simply red this purchase will definitely satisfy.
