British pop group?Five Star?see their career celebrated with a new 9CD+DVD box set?Luxury: The Definitive Anthology 1984-1991.
The band were comprised of five siblings ??Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy ? and were mentored by father Buster who?had aspirations for his children to be some kind of Jackson 5 for the 1980s era.
After signing to RCA Records in ?83 the band released their first album,?The Luxury of Life, in 1985. It spawned seven singles with the last,?System Addict?peaking at number three in the UK charts. The next long-player Silk and Steel was where Five Star really consolidated their early success. The album delivered another bucketload of singles, five of which were UK top 10 hits. Four more albums were issued on the RCA/Epic labels ending with?Shine, by which point the bands appeal had dwindled to the degree that it was only issued in America.
