Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"They're producers of throw-away, candy floss pop which won't be remembered" was one of the kindest comments made about the work of pop supremos Stock, Aitken and Waterman during the 1980s. Responding to this regular onslaught Pete Waterman always maintained that their songs would follow the same route as Motown compositions--they would stand the test of time and become classics. With the release of The Hit Factory, there is further evidence that Waterman may have been right all along. Stretching from Waterman's earliest work with Nik Kershaw and Hazel Dean, to his more recent protégés Steps, you realise how influential he has been in shaping the British pop music scene. One annoying factor about this otherwise essential collection is that the record company, in their quest to highlight the contemporariness of Waterman's work, have included tracks with some very loose connections. Even though signed to his label PWL, he had no production ties with artists such as Opus III & Undercover. However, how can you resist reliving those days of old when you watched Dead or Alive playing live on Razzmatazz, or Sonia performing "You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You" on the Hit Man and Her Roadshow? --John Galilee
