The Hep Stars is the second studio album by Swedish pop group Hep Stars, released on 19 December 1966 on Åke Gerhard's Olga Records, carrying the catalogue number LPO 04. The album can be considered the band's musical breakthrough, as five out of twelve tracks are original compositions, and nine out of the twelve tracks had never previously been recorded by other bands. Nonetheless, with over 40.000 copies of the album being sent to record stores across Scandinavia, it became a huge hit, reaching number 12 on Kvällstoppen in Sweden, number 5 on Norway's VG-lista and number 3 in Finland, where it stayed for two months. The album was later certified gold in Sweden after selling 25.000 copies.
