The Stars On 45 Still Burning In Your Mind !
Who remembers the craze for hit medleys in the early 80s ? Stars On 45 (Or Starsound as they were known in some parts of the world) hit the charts in 1981 with The Stars On 45. Several successful follow ups appeared and spawned a whole host of other medley makers (Beach Boy Gold, Startrax and the most famous of all, Tight Fit). Despite Starsound’s perfect rendition of the Beatles’ Liverpool accents on their first hit, they originated from Holland and this week’s Website Of The Week is devoted to their work.
