This 7" vinyl is the only vinyl record that Starball ever released. It has two songs from the Chuck Uchida sessions at Attica studios. This cool little record was released by the now defunct Thick Records in Chicago. The song "Still Around" is one of my faves from this time period and doesn't appear on any other Starball release. "Try On" is the hidden track on Starball's first album "Holstein Park."

Side A: Still Around

Side B: Try On

If you like over-the-top alternative girrrl rock then this is for you! Just be prepared for the drama!  This included a hidden track (very trendy at the time) but you gotta wait for it....it's track number 22 and it's called "Try On" which also appears on the "Still Around" 7". I'll burn it, print it, and insert it into the jewel tray for you! ENJOY THE DRAMA!
