Everybody knows the Beatles learned their trade in Hamburg, Germany but when Merseybeat went Dutch 20 years later, the result was a sensation! The story started in the early 1980s with a bootleg (illegally pressed) 12-inch single combining many hit songs of the 1960s. Offering over ten minutes of non-stop dancing, it was unsurprisingly popular with disco DJs in Holland. One of the songs it sampled was Shocking Blue's 'Venus', and it was when the copyright owner of that song decided to bootleg the bootleggers that Stars On 45 was born. Producer Jaap Eggermont, former drummer of Golden Earring, selected the cream of Dutch singers to contribute vocals to a new, legal version for public release - and in doing so altered the medley of songs to give it a decidedly Beatle-esque flavour. The individual numbers, sometimes just a verse and chorus, were recorded separately and edited together, quite a feat in the days before current digital sound technology. When the resulting medley, all eleven and a half minutes of it, topped the Dutch chart, it seemed the bootleggers had been beaten fair and square... But that was just the start of the story as Stars On 45 went world- wide! When released in the States, the single made Number 1 in the Billboard chart (though with a couple of songs dropped for copyright reasons), having already reached Number 2 in Britain and charted as far afield as Mexico and New Zealand. More than that, it started a medley craze that saw the Beach Boys, Hollies and even the Beatles themselves (a mix of movie music) jump on the bandwagon. Then-current teen heart-throbs Wham! followed suit with a 'Club Tropicana' megamix, while others to sample a winning formula included Boney M and Technotronic. But the Stars On 45 hit machine rocked on regardless, with three more British Top 20 entries during 1981-82: most successful was a tribute to Abba which reached Number 2, the same position as the original, while other efforts included a second Beatles medley, Stars On Stevie (Wonder), the Rolling Stones, Supremes and more. This album is filled with '60s and '70s hit songs medley performed by successfull artists like the Star Sisters, Nathalie and many others. Timeless songs by the Carpenters, The Spencer Davies Group, Rod Stewart, Donna Summer are all here, so sit back and enjoy this non-stop collection of all-time great party hits!
