> TRACK POLL 98


> In the Summer of 1998 The Five Star Service carried out a poll asking for fan's opinions on every* Five Star track. Fans were asked to give each track a mark out of ten(0 being bad, 10 being excellent). The results were then compiled,leaving this, the Five Star Service Track Poll 1998.
* Non Album B-sides were not included (hence the exception of Love Games), nor were exclusive recordings (eg Peter Pan Medley).

> It is hoped that when Five Star's new album is finally released, the track poll 2000 will be launched; it's aim once again being
to give a definitive list of the top Five Star tracks. Thanks go to everyone who voted ; though it's probably so long ago, you've now forgotten!
(NB - The track poll was carried out again in 2001 and the results were published in TFSS 12. They will be reprinted online in the future)
 

> This information was originally published in Issue 4 of TFSS, with detailed analysis. The Pearsons were sent copies of these results. Buster Pearson revealed that he was "Suprised that the tracks from Shine rated so highly, as Silk and Steel was the biggest seller." This track poll 'reportedly'  helped the Pearsons to decide upon the direction to take with their new recordings ; the emphasis being on self written tracks.
