Product description

Simply Red - Stars - CD

Amazon.co.uk

Such was the omnipresence of Britain's biggest selling album in 1992 and 1993, that Stars sounds like a Greatest Hits in its own right. It's always been fashionable for critics to sneer at Simply Red's phenomenal success, but there's no denying the sumptuous clarity which pervades everything here, from the doting, devotional "For Your Babies" to the deliciously understated "Wonderland". Even clumsy forays into social commentary--"Model" and the Tory-baiting "Your Mirror"--are partially redeemed by a couple of cracking tunes. Lest we forget, Stars was Simply Red's last album as a fully functioning band. Hucknall may well have since written songs to equal "For Your Babies" and "Stars", but bereft of Fritz McIntyre's sunny keyboard sound and Heitor T.P.'s crisp, angular funk playing, he's never quite sounded so Simply Red. --Peter Paphides

SIMPLY....AVOID!
Pressed by MPO in France... these guys are the masters of non-fill distortion resulting in 50/50 chance of a bin job record, in my humble experience. You can find a number of NM original UK pressings online which not only blow this out the water for sound but also are pressed correctly in the first place. Simply Avoid. Of course the album is one of the best of the 90's so it will never get 1 star EDIT: WAITED FOR A REPRESS AND AS THE PICTURE SHOWS ITS ANOTHER NON FILL MESS!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2014

    I have a strange relationship with this album. Having loved their debut album by the time they had got to releasing "Stars" I was feeling strongly that they had sold out to the "middle-of-the-road" (middle-aged) stereotype and were just in it for the album sales and money.

    Clearly, the album had strong qualities but I just felt that they hadn't progressed in the way that many other bands who started in the same era had done (e.g. U2, TalkTalk, Simple Minds). Not fulfilled ŵhat I felt was their awesome potential.

    But, having just back-filled my new hi- fi set-up with albums I had originally owned as vinyl I must confess that this album now sits very comfortably on its own time-tested merits as a classic of its genre with great songs throughout presented in startlingly-good recording quality.

    Just does exactly what it ever alluded to on its "tin" and never presumed to be anything than the perfect proponent of this style of music that it undoubtedly is.

    Thousands will be enjoying this music long after I am dead and gone, so who am I to argue?

    If you can't beat 'em join 'em!........and I am very happy to do so !

    Buy and enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic early 90s soulful pop
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2015
    Verified Purchase
    'Stars' (1991) is, deservedly, one of the Top 20 selling albums of all-time in the UK and spawned no fewer than 5 Top 40 singles ~ the classy title track, the lovely 'For Your Babies', the catchy 'Something Got Me Started', the classy 'Your Mirror' and the upbeat 'Thrill Me'. Of the other 5 tracks, 'Model', with its lilting reggae beat, and the sweet ballad 'How Could I Fall' qualify for special mention here. If you haven't heard this album, and you like smooth, well-delivered soul-influenced pop music, then this should fit the bill very nicely indeed.
