Seeing Stars was the only album by the band Seeing Stars. It was essentially intended to be the fifth studio album by UK band All About Eve. In the aftermath of the Ultraviolet album's release – its bad reception and lost recording contract – whilst this album was being recorded in early 1993, lead singer Julianne Regan left the writing and recording session, and All About Eve disbanded.
The remaining members of the group, Andy Cousin (bass), Mark Price (drums), and Marty Willson-Piper (guitars and – on this record – lead vocals), continued their work on the album. It was released four years later on the Swedish Border Music label, as a limited pressing.
In 1999, following the reformation of All About Eve, renewed interest in the band saw a re-release of the album in a limited pressing of 500 copies. Nearly all of them were sold at All About Eve gigs during their Fairy Light Nights period.
