"The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band in the World" medley featured hits by the Rolling Stones, covering the mainpart of the band's career from their 1965 breakthrough with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" via classics like "Under My Thumb", "Miss You", "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Honky Tonk Women" to their then most recent hit "Start Me Up" in the autumn of 1981.
The previous single, "Stars on Stevie", had indeed become another hit on both sides of the Atlantic, but the following album had failed to make much of an impact on either the British or the American charts; in the UK, it peaked at #94 and dropped out of the listing after just one week, in the US, the album didn't even register on Billboard's Top 200, and when the Rolling Stones medley single was released it met with the same indifference.
It also failed to chart in both the US and the UK — where it somewhat confusingly was released by CBS under exactly the same title as both the preceding single and the third album; "Stars Medley".
The Star Sisters went on to release three albums and some ten singles in Continental Europe between the years 1983 and 1987 to moderate international success.
