Stars On Long Play also known by various titles like "Stars on Long Play," "Stars on 45 - The Album," and "Starsound," marks the debut release by the Dutch soundalike studio group Stars on 45 in 1981. This innovative album, released under different names depending on the region, ingeniously strings together popular songs from various artists into a continuous medley.
In the Netherlands, it was released by CNR Records. In the US, it was rebranded as "Stars on Long Play" under Atlantic Records' sublabel Radio Records. In the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, the group was renamed "Starsound," and the album went by "Stars on 45" or "Stars on 45 - The Album" under CBS Records. Additionally, in Spanish-speaking countries, the album and group were launched as "Estrellas en 45."
This boundary-pushing album achieved remarkable international distribution, including in the Soviet Union and parts of the Eastern Bloc as "Discothèque Stars," and in Czechoslovakia as "Stars on 45." In the Philippines, it appeared as "Stars on 45 Long Play Album."
