The album was released on Carrere Records and reached no.36 in the UK Albums Chart.[4] Five of the nine tracks were written by Dollar members David Van Day and Thereza Bazar, the album was produced by Christopher Neil. Track "Love Street" was released as a single after the group had left the label. All of the tracks have been released on CD on various compilation albums.[5] Track listing
The Very Best of Dollar{{Infobox album| name = The Very Best of Dollar | type = compilation | artist = Dollar | cover = The very best of Dollar.jpg | alt = | released = 2 April 1982 | recorded = 1978–1979 | venue = | studio = | genre = Pop, MOR | length = 36:00 | label = Carrere Records | producer = Christopher Neil | prev_title = The Paris Collection | prev_year = 1980 | next_title = The Dollar Album | next_year = 1982 }} Dollar left Carrere Records in early 1980 and signed to Warner Music Group where they went on to find even greater success. Eager to cash in on this, their original label re-released Shooting Stars as The Very Best of Dollar with a new cover and added track - their fourth and final hit with the label, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". Another single, "Ring Ring" was released to coincide with the album, which clashed with Dollar's latest official single, "Give Me Back My Heart".[6][7] The album actually improved on its original chart performance, reaching no. 31, which was surprising considering that it featured none of Dollar's recent hits and received no promotion from the duo themselves.[8] The album was certified Silver by the BPI later in the year.[9] Track listing
