Astoundingly good... and bad........2006-12-16

I remember this Beatles medley from what? the 80s? And it's really clever. The CD is worth it for the Beatles medley and, to a lesser extent, the Stevie Wonder medley. They nailed the Beatle sound absolutely, mixing an incredible variety of songs with a consistent disco beat. Wow! My wife finds the disco beat tiresome but it's somewhat endearing and rather cool. And I hate disco. But as clever as the Beatles medley is, the remaining tracks are just a mess. Songs are randomly put together without rhyme or reason. Yeesh. Buy the CD for the Beatles and don't listen to the rest.

Reminds me of college days.......2007-07-06

I was in college in the early 80's when this was big, and it is just as fun to hear now.

I had no problems playing the CD and importing it into my itunes. I never tried playing it directly on the PC. This is pricey, but well worth it!!

Great CD, but this import doesn't play on most cd players.......2007-02-21

So out of the 6 cd players in my home, 4 are various ages and 1 being a MAC and 1 also being a PC, this complitaion only plays on 1 of them. So I can say that the music is great! But i can't really access it. Just look on that larger image of the cover and its clearly written: does not play on PC or MAC. I didn't see that. I also have purchased other import cds in the past and have had no problems. So i can't get it on my ipod nor other cd players and i'm a little annoyed, because i was so excited to find this stuff on cd. I have the stars on II LP.

If You're a Fan of TIme Life CD Commericals, This is the CD for You.......2007-01-21

This is a collection of snippets of hit songs redone with a disco beat. These are not the original artists, but fair imitators. But Just when I get into one song, it changes into another one. It reminded me of watching Time Life "Best of" CD commercials. I"ll admit to watching the commericals for a few minutes, but then I switch the channel. That's pretty much how I felt after listening to this for a few minutes...time to listen to something else.

Exceptionally well done! Well worth $25.99.......2005-06-13

(1)
In the one week that I've owned this CD, I've played it both at several water aerobics classes and at a party at my home (yesterday). In both cases people's reaction was astonishment at how authentic the imitations are:

(1.1)
More than one person said, "I can't tell the difference [between this song and the original]!." Then the next song would come on, and they'd be astonished that it was ALSO performed by Stars- on-45. The "I-can't-tell-the-difference" group includes a former Classic Rock DJ.

(1.2)
A person who works on Talk Radio told me thought that I was adding different instrumentation to original voice tracks (the original vocals).

Nevertheless, If I actively listen for differences, and in a quiet environment (which is neither water aerobics nor a party), I am able to detect subtle difference between this CD's songs and the originals.

(2) This is an excellent CD for water aerobics both due to the distinct, 120 BPM (beats per minute) beat and the mix of songs from the '40s through the 80s.

(3) More people have asked me how to buy this CD (not just requested that I play it) than any other CD that ever played for water aerobics classes, and I've been doing so for over three years, during which time I've played (songs from) over three hundred CDs.

(4)
I also own Jive Bunny's greatest hits and "DiscoBeatles." If this CD is an A+, then Jive Bunny's is about a B- , and "DiscoBeatles." is an F.

(5)
I plan to give copies of this CD as Christmas presents.

The running order and tracks lsited on Amazon are not correct. This is the top 40 single and a re-edited 12" version from the first album. All is good except, the individual tracks are cut into 20 second parts and the whole CD has someting like 40 small tracks instead of 2.

stars on 45 ........2005-02-17

i want the rolling stones and stevie wonder (12" inch mix) here. that was the best stars on 45 album. this is not remastered. as the new ones should. (aad) recording. this is. i hope this helps.

OK, Not Great.......2002-12-13

There are some real gems on this CD: The Swing Medley and the Beatles Medley are sweet, and worth the price alone: slick, polished. The rest of the CD, however, was sub-standard. I was expecting something exciting with the Carpenters Medley by Nathalie, but it is awful. The singer tried to sound like Karen Carpenter, and she failed miserably. Her Japanese accent was annoying. The CD has a very odd assortment of tracks, with a couple that are superb. The rest, however, are forgetable.

I loved this album of Beatles medleys (and more).......1999-04-26

Hey all you who love the Beatles and everything Beatles related, DO check out "Vol. 1-Greatest Stars on 45" This was never released in the U.S. as far as I know, but it gives you a great medley of Beatles tunes, fading in from one to the next. One of the most exhilirating records I ever owned, now on CD!!! Too cool!!!!

easy listening.......2006-11-02

however, you must be a die hard fan of this music, or it gets old after a few plays....and the songs don't sound "so original" after you've played the cd a few times. Overall, great music, just don't play it often, or you'll get sick of it.

Very good, for what it is.......2001-06-01

A bit of a caveat here: of my 1000+ titles on CD, most run to the likes of the Rolling Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, ELO, Zep, Bush, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Veruca Salt - hard rock & roll, mostly. Maybe that's meaningful here (your call).

Well, I like Vol 2, but I have to say Vol 1 is superior. Vol 1 has more of the, well, the hard rock covers (Stones, Beatles, Who, "Layla", "War of the Worlds",) & more golden classic stuff like Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, the Mamas & Papas, and Barry McGuire.

Vol 2 has more bird groups & girl groups stuff, as well as pre-British invasion stuff. There is also a nice selection of Swing & 1930's/1940's influenced stuff here on Vol 2.

If you're not on to Stars on 45 - called Stars on Long Play on their albums - it is dance music, or if you prefer, disco, meddleys of mostly HUGE rock and roll songs. Stars on 45 would be campy if they weren't so good at what they do. They play this straight up, but the singing & playing is so very well done that this is very enjoyable listening. The singers at times sound near dead on in their Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, ABBA, Stevie Wonder, & Mama Cass imitations - I get the impression that the singers really like the artists they're copying and that they want these performances to be homages to their musical heroes. And the instrumentation is top notch, and yeah, it's disco, but it's inspired playing of all time great tunes, none the less. Some might say it's a sacrilege to have the Stones & the Beatles tunes turned into disco meddleys, and ditto for Stevie and the rest of the artists - for instance, the Carpenters hits are made into a really good meddley - but, this SOUNDS good, and it's FUN, so I don't find any harm. If you like disco, you will probably really enjoy this. And if you listen with open ears, you might find it a nice type of honor to the great artists that Jaap Eggermont and friends cover. Stars on 45 are different, but in this case, that's good.

Complete Collection of Stars on 45 Remixes.......2004-06-28

I've read the other reviews and have to disagree. The sound on these recordings is great and these are the original Stars on 45 remixes. They are not done by an Asian road tour band. In fact, there is no one mimicking Karen Carpenter on it. If you liked the original Beatles Medley released back in the early 80's, you'll love these too. The plus with this collection is that it also contains the single version of the Beatles Medley. I bought the 45 RPM record way back when it was on the charts. This single version contains a slightly longer intro than the one on the original 45 RPM record, but the sequence that follows is the same unlike the Beatles Medley LP version. I gave it only 4 stars because it is overpriced for what you get (almost $40 for just 1 CD). If you can get it on sale for under $20, than it's a 5 star recommendation.

Don't buy this album!.......2001-01-26

If you liked The Very Best on Stars on 45, which is a great album, you will not like this album. First, it is overpriced ($$), a lot of it is written in Chinese (including part of the cover wrap and almost all the lyric book)which kind of blows it if you can only read English. Third, this is not the great compliation that The Very Best of Stars on 45s is. This is a recorded version of an Asian road tour band that took Stars on 45 on the road. Some of the singers are musically very good, and especially the girl who mimics Karen Carpenter has the voice quality down pat, but her Asian accent kind of ruins the effect of sounding like Karen Carpenter. The mixes are too long, the tracks aren't that good, and the only good song on this is the long version of the Beatles medley, which you can get in a better form of the Very Best of the Stars on 45, which is a much better album. I sampled this on ...(the web) before I bought it and I thought it sounded okay, but when I got it, I was disappointed and I even posted it for resale on ...(the web). Nobody wanted it. I don't want it either and I wouldn't pawn it off on one of my friends. Maybe it will make an expensive drink coaster or I will just toss it one of these days. Goodbye $$.

A very impressive track list..........2000-07-03

Even more impressive is the amazing Japanese technology used to place all 140 tracks on one CD. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.) Perhaps the track listing from the CD cover will illuminate their mysterious technique: 1)Beatles Medley 2)Abba Medley 3)Stevie Wonder Medley 4)The Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band In The World 5)Supremes Medley 6)Star Wars And Other Hits 7)Beatles Medley(Single Version) 8)Abba Medley(Single Version).

Yes, if you're looking for 20 - 30 seconds of a whole bunch of top-ten singles, all run together, then you've found it here.

And no expense has been spared to bring you authentic "45" sound quality. The "music" manages to simultaneously sound both muddy and tinny.

If I had to sum up this CD in one word, it would be "NO!"
