Limited nine CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD box. This set housed in a sumptuously packaged 12"x12" deluxe casebound book, comprising the six studio albums from their international hit-laden recording periods with RCA Records and Epic Records. All six albums feature extra tracks, including non-album B-Sides, with the remaining three CDs containing forty two 7" and 12" alternate versions and remixes. The release features the original album tracklistings plus B-Sides, a multitude of alternate mixes, instrumental versions and more than 30 mixes previously unreleased on CD, bringing a two-label collection together from the band's internationally successful career, for the very first time. This deluxe set features a 2,000 word recollection, with Denise Pearson interviewed by Record Collector Editor, Paul Lester. Five Star were managed by their father, Buster Pearson who harbored the idea that his talented children could be the UK's 1980s version of an older Jackson 5. Following an appearance on BBC One's Pebble Mill in 1983, Five Star signed to RCA Records then spent 1984 honing their craft and performing at numerous club PAs around the country. They were rewarded in May 1985 with their debut hit 'All Fall Down', which reached #15 in the UK Singles Chart taken from the debut album Luxury Of Life, from which seven singles were released. It was the final single from the album, 'System Addict', that charted the highest from the album and which started a run of nine consecutive Top 20 hits.
