"The Dollar Album" is the third and final album released by the pop group Dollar. [http://www.dollarsite.co.uk/]

Released in 1982, Dollar had seen a revival in fortunes following their previous album. After teaming up with producer Trevor Horn in 1981, the group had enjoyed their biggest success with four hit singles; "Hand Held in Black and White", "Mirror Mirror (Mon Amor)", "Give Me Back My Heart" and "Videotheque". [http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=3029] Members David Van Day and Thereza Bazar began work on a new album and wrote and produced the remainder of the tracks themselves. A fifth single, "Give Me Some Kinda Magic" was released to co-incide with the album, but it failed to chart as highly as the previous four and in effect, the album fared less well than expected, although at No.18 it was their highest placed album.

In early 1983, Dollar were on a promotional tour of Japan with their new single "Two Hearts". The former couple had, by this time, found it difficult to continue working together and decided to split. The single was never released in the UK. Dollar reformed in 1986 and despite four single releases, including a top 10 hit, the group never released another album. Many of the tracks on this album were released on CD on a 2006 compilation album, "The Platinum Collection." [http://www.dollarsite.co.uk/disc/album.html]
