5.0 out of 5 stars Some Misunderstandings THEN I'll Get To The Good Stuff!!!, January 29, 2005

First off I have to say Midnight Star and Atlantic Star ARE NOT the same group!They may dress alike and have similar cover art but couldn't be more different.Anyway 'Headlines' is the last Midnight Star album featuring the brothers Calloway and it shows.The material here bears more similarity to that of Ready For The World and other mid 80's dance-funk groups,notably on the two best songs 'Midas Touch' and 'Engine Number 9'.The styles vary though from hard edged electro-funk to dance-pop and THAT'S what made the Calloway's so great-they could have a distinctive sound AND be diverse all at once.I don't think I'll get any arguements here that Midnight Star lost most of it's individuality after this album and this is the last time most fans will find their music of any interest.So happy listening!

Yet another brilliant album by Midnight Star. This particular one, is their 1986 original Solar release, whic does not contain the extra tracks, just as I like. The title Album track, headlines, also has a bonus instrumental version. This is by far my favourite album by Midnight Star, and the only one that contains the versions of 'Midas touch' and 'Engine No.9' that I love; not too long & not too short; just right. It also includes the ballad 'Searching for Love', with amazing vocals by Belinda and Bo. This kind of music, which in my opinion, is the best there'll ever be, is hard to come by. If you can get yourself a copy, go ahead and enjoy. As the SOS Band says, the World has music for those who listen. Long live the 80's. I love My Oldschool Music!

I LOVE MIDNIGHT STARR WHAT AN ALBUM!!!
I REMEMBER WHEN MY MOM USED TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM I USED TO LIKE MIDNIGHT STAR. I USED TO LIKE ALL OF THESE SONGS THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS THEY HAVE; BESIDES" NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR". THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM THAT CONTAINS SOME GOOD SONGS "GET DRESSED" IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I LOVE THE MIDAS TOUCH AND ENGINE NO.9. WHAT A TREAT THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM AND I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LIKES MIDNIGHT STARR TO BUY THIS ALBUM. IT IS A GOOD ONE!!!!!
