Five Star Luxury: The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991

This is a great package of music. Several hours of entertainment from the 80's and 90's.

I enjoyed this group for many years! I only have inspiration from this musical group!

Great compilation especially with the new mixes and b sides.

As a fan of Five Star since the 80s I was pretty stoked about this because it had a long list of bonus tracks listed on five out of the six original albums that were not remixes so I expected demos and b-sides that I never got to hear. Well, I guess they are just that but what I wish had been clear was that they are largely INSTRUMENTAL SONGS! Five Star was not a band who played their own instruments, they were known for their harmonizing and dance moves, so these instrumental bonus tracks are out of place and frankly disappointing as they are largely why I invested this kind of money. What's worse, most of these instrumental tracks sound like kids playing on someone's synthesizer, which may be exactly what these are since the family had a studio in their home. Also, the quality of the music on these album reissues doesn't really sound much better than my original CDs bought in the 80s and 90s. I guess the remix discs are cool and the DVD is pretty cool as well, but overall this was not worth the more than $50 I spent. Buyer beware if you are buying for the bonus tracks, I only wish the description of this set had warned me.

Five Star had 8 Studio Albums. I wish they had added the albums included in this collection so we could see which ones are missing:1. Luxury of Life2. Silk & Steel3. Between the Lines4. Rock the World5. Five Star6. Shine7. Heart and Soul8. EclipseCan anyone who purchased this set tell us which albums are missing? Thanks.

Was very excited to recieve this item but was disappointed with all the INTRUMENTAL filler crap that they chose to include and no sign of their last 2 cds Heart & Soiul and Eclipse :( I do love that there was a full dvd of Videos so that makes the purchase sorta worth it .

bonjour, Mr j'ai constaté qu'il ya une chanson du coffret qui est rayé, qui ne passe pas.Est-ce qu'il ai possible de changer le coffret ?Cordialement.

This is an absolute must for any Five Star fan. Packed with almost every feature you can ask for. Beautifully present in the box set! Not all the 12" mixes are on this compilation though which was slightly disappointing!Track 9-5 is credited (in the booklet only) as the Phil Harding (PWL) Dub but plays as the Shep Pettibone Dub.Track 9-7 is listed as "Somewhere Somebody (Dub Remix)" but plays as the standard Shep Pettibone 12” version, as released in 1987 (and featured on the “Between the Lines” Cherry Pop reissue from 2012). This was supposed to be the Dub Remix from the 12” promo, but the wrong mix was used by Edsel.Apart from this it is still a fantstic box set to own and the booklet was a pleasure to read! :)

I discovered this by viewing the group’s twitter feed and was blown away by the sheer beauty and extravagance of the presentation. It seemed too good to be true. But this is the ultimate compilation spanning 7 years of music during their 35th anniversary.Of course as a lifelong fan it could have been improved if there was evidence of all the members contribution to the project. It would have been great if it included group interviews, individual biographies, and making of promo videos and live performances.Don’t let this put you off. I feel that given their contributions to music they are incredibly underrated and not given the accolade or recognition they deserve. However Denise disagrees and reminisces on the impact the music had in that era.They will always hold a place in my heart as they were my first musical idols that were black and British born that were able to compete with their U.S cousins.Each album showed growth, maturity, improved vocals, and an impeccable image and unmatched professionalism.A musical compilation worth every single penny. Thank you for the excellent safe packaging and quick delivery.

WOW,this is awesome,in a sturdy large presentation book with one page a pic of the group and the other page 3 cd’s ( and 1dvd ,looks amazing,very good quality and well thought out...all the albums included have bonus tracks and there’scd’s of 7” and 12” remixes and B sides and a dvd full of promos......and a fantastic large booklet with pics,info etcThe signed photo of Denise is fab,good quality with a lovely messageThis is a thing of beauty and once I stop looking at it cant wait to play the cd’sLOVE IT
