Do They Know...?

Hello.

I've been doing some reading over at Kylie Minogue's site and spotted that she participated in the 1989, yes 1989, recoding of "Do They Know It's Christmas." Anybody got this?

MP3 please.

You're being far too kind.

In any case, what do you expect from Stock Aitken and Waterman? Quality? [xx(]

The guy had the guts to post that request, but one man's "poo" is another man's treasure (or something like that).

You guys are meanies. <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~fritzb1/shame.gif">

Because you're American I'll let that comment pass since you're unlikely to have exoerienced the dubious "pleasure" of Stock Aitken and Waterman in full "effect".

Don't forget, this production team was once voted the third worst thing to have happened in the 80's, behind Chernobyl and Hillborough. [xx(]

Fritzb, Frank Chickens thanx for coming to the rescue!!!

Well. I should have been European, British, French, Italian because I love Hit Factory/PWL/Hazell Dean/Kylie/ Sinitta/Stock, Aitken Waterman stuff. BRING IT ON!!!! Anyone got what I requested? Please e-mail it over (MP3, please).

And, BY THE WAY, as for American artists, both Laura Branigan AND Donna Summer have realized the EuroPop/EuroDisco/EuroDance phenom--Laura's "Touch" LP and Donna Summer's "Another Time, Another Place" were produced by Stock, Aitken, Waterman

Morover, All of Donna Summer's LP was written by Stock, Aitken, Waterman. Also, on "Touch", Laura Branigan performs a version of Hazell Dean's "Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go)"

Wasn't a bunch of Bananrama's later stuff produced by them as well? I heard a rumour, etc.
Loved it all!

Excuse me?!?? [V]

No way at ANY time did I come to your defence concerning the drek that Stock, Aitken and Waterman spewed.

Please read my posts again. :|

Lol. [:D]

I would LOVE to see the Rickster cover Disorder or one of their other upbeat songs! [;)]

Peter & The Test Tubes Babies ripped SAW apart so brilliantly on "The Shit Factory", a collection of SAW songs with the urine well and truly taken out of them. [:)]

Soz for going off on you at you trekds947 man, but I really dislike them (understatement of the year?) and what they stand for musically.

Listen to Bill Hicks' comments about Debbie Gibson and Tiffany for my general opinion of late 80s music.
