"Sound City" was originally recorded in 1976, was thought to have been lost and is now available on vinyl for the first time, The Hollywood Stars were originally put together by impresario and Hollywood figure Kim Fowley in 1973 (much as he did with The Runaways) and he, always an attention seeker and an attention grabber, crammed their gigs at the Whiskey A-Go-Go full of influential people, together with the coolest and most colorful Sunset Strip characters. He wanted to create a West coast version of the New York Dolls, minus the cross-dressing and they had the sound people wanted in LA's feel-good, glitzy rock'n'roll landscape. When touring, groups like Journey, The Knack, Van Halen, and the Runaways all opened FOR the Hollywood Stars.

Press Quotes
Upon its CD release in 2019, Shindig! magazine wrote “There are raunchy rockers and crowd-pleasing anthems aplenty with ‘All the Kids on the Street’ as fine an example of power pop perfection as one is likely to encounter,” while Goldmine magazine proclaimed” Sound City is everything you could want it to be, a bruising barrage of ten songs in little more than half an hour… the Stars certainly had a better grasp of what made glam rock glitter than the majority of their peers.
