The Belle Stars, the one and only studio album by the British all-women group, came out on Stiff Records early in 1983, with Peter Collins producing. Formed in 1980, the group's members included Stella Barker, Clare Hirst, Miranda Joyce, Jennie Matthias, Sarah-Jane Owen, Judy Parsons and Lesley Shone, and here they make bright, bouncy pop that sounds built for a crowded dance floor.

"Sign of the Times", the hit they are best remembered for, is the song here that made the countdowns, and the album itself reached 15 in the UK. Their cover of the Dixie Cups' "Iko Iko" had charted at 35 in 1982, and it came back around years later when it turned up in the film Rain Man.
