This is what allmusicguide.com wrote about Roxette. Stars EP? I missed something?

It’s tempting to write Roxette off as nothing more than a shallow pop/rock band, but their shameless hooks are precisely what makes them so enjoyable. Roxette has a knack for writing extremely catchy and simple hooks and melodies that are sweet but not saccharine; it’s radio-friendly pop, but the hooks don’t wear thin with repeated plays. The duo of guitarist Per Gessle and vocalist Marie Fredriksson released an album in 1986 that didn’t display much of their talents, but the infectious follow-up, 1988’s Look Sharp!, brought them to the top of the charts in America and England; 1991’s Joyride was almost equally successful. After a couple years off, Roxette returned with a new album, Crash! Boom! Bang!, in 1994; Baladas en Español followed in 1997, and two years later the duo returned with the EP Stars. In 2000, Roxette signed to Edel and released the greatest-hits collection Don’t Bore Us Get to the Chorus and began work on their next album.

Yea, Stars EP is the Stars Maxi single. It has quite a few songs on it, some catalogues list it as an EP, but that’s still a maxi single.

We in the UK had a stars remix CD with quite a few songs on... dunno if it’s that. Doubt it, but yeah anyways.
