AllMusic Review:

The band's first U.K. LP is a pure pop masterpiece featuring the near-perfect singles "Starry Eyes" and "Teenarama." The album was retitled The Records and released in a modified form in America. The first pressings came with a bonus 12" entitled High Heels, which featured a collection of four covers.
