20 Starburstin' Original Hits

This album features 20 original hits from popular artists of the mid-70s across pop, rock, soul, and disco genres.

Sue Byrom in Record Mirror wrote "I don't really know why this is called 'Startruckin'[sic] '76' as most of the tracks were released last year - although David Cassidy's 'Daydreamer' is considerably older than that. There's also some strange choice of material - The Outlaws' 'There Goes Another Love Song' included with Hello's 'New York Groove', and Leapy Lee's 'Every Road Leads Back To You' with the Rollers' Bye Bye Baby'. The common factor is that all the artists are on Bell and Arista Records and there are some fairly strange companions on this compilation."
