Long Play Album is the first album by the Dutch soundalike studio group Stars on 45, released on the CNR Records label in the Netherlands in March 1981. In the US, the album was retitled Stars on Long Play, released on Atlantic Records' sublabel Radio Records and credited to 'Stars On'. In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand the group was renamed 'Starsound' (on certain releases spelt StarSound or Star Sound) and the album itself was listed as Stars on 45 or Stars on 45 – The Album and released by CBS Records. In Spanish-speaking countries, both the group and the album were launched under a fourth name: Estrellas en 45.

In the Philippines, it was released under the title Stars on 45 Long Play Album (manufactured and printed in the Philippines by Dyna Products, Inc. under license from PhonoGram International B.V., using the Mercury label.
