It's time for Five Star Friday, just in time for Another Weekend.
The frenetic, ballsy lead single from Rock The World was a sharp departure for the group, with smiling faces banished and leather in.
Family Pearson might not be smiling, but you will be. Another Weekend: it's big, it's bad, and it's brilliant. Enjoy.

The UK's answer to the Jackson Five, Five Star (siblings Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy Pearson, managed by father Buster Pearson) scored four Top 20 albums and 15 Top 40 singles between 1985 and 1988.
In 1990, Stedman (one of two cute brothers in the group) pleaded guilty to a charge of public indecency, after he was arrested for cottaging in a public toilet in London. Rupert Murdoch's rightwing hate rag The Sun reported the story as the "Sex Disgrace of 5 Star Stedman". The damage done, both to him and the group, by this homophobic police entrapment, and the moral panic whipped up by the conservative media, is incalculable.
Back to the thrilling and infectious The Slightest Touch, which reached number four in the UK singles chart, and was lifted from their second album, Silk & Steel. Enjoy.
