Records. This album was a commercial failure[2] and failed to chart. Album informationBecause Stars was such an abysmal financial failure, Cher was put back with narrative pop songs on her next album. The album garnered no attention, and as such did not chart. Producer Michael Omartian attributed this to "a lack of promotion." Cher recorded this album while she was pregnant with Elijah Blue Allman, her second child. She wrote a dedication to him on the back-sleeve of the album: And a special thanks to Elijah for waiting until the day after I finished my album. Cher. Only one single was released, "Long Distance Love Affair" (b/w "Borrowed Time"). It was performed twice on her TV show, but charted nowhere. "I'd Rather Believe In You" was planned as the second single from the album, but it was cancelled after the first single failed. A different version of the song, in which the lyrics are directed toward God instead of a lover, was recorded by the contemporary Christian singing group the Imperials for their 1980 album Priority, which was also produced by Omartian. In 1976, Cher recorded two other songs: "A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knockin' Everyday)," a duet with Harry Nilsson, and "Pirate" (from her album Cherished which was released a year later), the latter of which starts off the album on some editions. The album has never been released on CD, and the only CD versions in circulation are bootlegs. According to Billboard, Cher owned this album's master rights and Warner had no right to reissue.[3] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Side one | title1 = Long Distance Love Affair | writer1 = {{hlist|Michael Price|Dan Walsh}} | length1 = 2:45 | title2 = I'd Rather Believe in You | writer2 = {{hlist|Michael Omartian|Stormie Omartian}} | length2 = 3:45 | title3 = I Know (You Don't Love Me) | writer3 = Barbara George | length3 = 2:54 | title4 = Silver Wings & Golden Rings | writer4 = {{hlist|Gloria Sklerov|Molly Ann Leikin}} | length4 = 3:20 | title5 = Flashback | writer5 = {{hlist|Artie Wayne|Alan O'Day}} | length5 = 3:53 }}{{Track listing | headline = Side two | title1 = It's a Cryin' Shame | writer1 = {{hlist|Dennis Lambert|Brian Potter}} | length1 = 2:49 | title2 = Early Morning Strangers | writer2 = {{hlist|Barry Manilow|Hal David}} | length2 = 3:43 | title3 = Knock on Wood | writer3 = {{hlist|Eddie Floyd|Steve Cropper}} | length3 = 3:30 | title4 = Spring | writer4 = John Tipton | length4 = 4:23 | title5 = Borrowed Time | writer5 = {{hlist|John M.
