K-tells -   Super 'Stars'!

Super Star Collection - 36 Original Hits - 36 Original Stars (K-tel TU 2810 USA - TC 248 CAN) (2021 Remastered Expanded Edition) (2CD) (1978)        This double album was originally released by K-tel in the USA and Canada in 1978. They each had different track listings. It was released on vinyl, 8-track tape and quite surprisingly on cassette - a first for a K-tel album in America!  Astonishingly, this 2CD collection contains 21 number 1 hits.  For this 2021 expanded edition I have selected the 44 very best tracks from both versions for a special 2CD set, and features all the original unedited 7" single mixes, including a few hard to find tracks. Fully remastered.

Disc 1 comprises of 22 of the very best song selections with a running time of 78:59 CD length.

Disc 2 comprises of 22 of the very best song selections with a running time of 77:30 CD length.

Star Party - 20 Original Hits - 20 Original Stars (K-tel NE 1034 UK) (2021 Remastered Edition) (1978)       Star Party was originally released by K-tel in the UK only in 1978 on vinyl and cassette. It was a big success, reaching #4 on the official albums chart on the 26th August 1978.  Featuring all the original unedited 7" single mixes, including a few hard to find tracks. Fully remastered with a new running time of 65:42 CD length.  

Star Traks - 20 Original Hits (K-tel NE 1070 UK) (2022 Remastered Edition) (1980)        Star Traks was originally released by K-tel in the UK only in 1980 on vinyl and cassette. It was a big success, reaching #6 on the official albums chart on the 12th April 1980. Featuring all the original unedited 7" single mixes, including a few hard to find tracks. Fully remastered with a new running time of 77:25 CD length.

Enjoy!

Hi all down-loaders.

Just a gentle reminder to acknowledge K. who goes to a lot of effort to ensure you have a wonderful listening experience on these compilations. Very rarely do I see thanks to him for his genuine hard work and the time and effort to make 100% sure all tracks are the original 7” single edits and mixes featured on most of his album posts.   Let him know what you think of the albums, your thoughts on the sound quality, digital editing, consistent volume levels throughout, artwork and research, etc.  A message can always be sent  later, after listening to the shares. There is no time-limit on comments.

Please take that step further and thank K for these posts. Appreciated.

Cheers

BB
