Five Star


I REMEMBER ALL FALL DOWN BACK IN 1985 BUT NEVER KNEW WHO SUNG IT IN 1995 I FOUND OUT IT WAS BUY A GROUP NAMED FIVE STAR I WENT OUT AND FOUND THE CASSETTE TAPE AND I WAS SHOCKED IT HAS SOME GREAT TRACKS ON THEIR BESIDES THEIR HITS MY OTHER FAVORITES ARE NOW IM IN CONTROL I JUST LOVE THEIR SYNTS WOW MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE SAME I ALSO WOULD RECOMMED THEIR SECOND ALBUM I THINK IT SOLD MORE THEN THEIR FIRST . Luxury of Life

If you like Five Star, get this reissue. It's nicely packaged and the sound quality is definitely an improvement from the original cd issue. The bonus tracks are not really rare though. Even in America, they are easy to find. What's missing is the a 12inch remix of Let Me Be the One. It's called the 'dance remix' and was on some 12-inch's with the Philadelphia remix, depending on which catalog number was on the picture sleeve. Anyways, it's a slamming remix that mixed All Fall Down in the intro and includes scratching, sampling, and a different sax solo. That version would have made this reissue a MUST BUY!

Like the last reviewer stated, the REALLY good songs on this album are "R.S.V.P.", "Let Me Be The One", "Hide and Seek", "Love Take Over", "All Fall Down", & "System Addict". As for all the rest, ok, to boring. I honestly skip all the rest of the songs. Other than that, this album is a classic!

Back in the day Five Star debuted in 1985 with Luxury of Life. There are some great tracks on the album, Let Me Be The One, All Fall Down, Love Take Over, Hide and Seek, RSVP and System Addict all make the grade. There are some not so good tracks also though, Say Goodbye, Winning, Crazy all have poor production values. Off This 1st album Five Star had some hits and rightly so, the weaker tracks should have been omitted and replaced with stronger material.'
