''Pete Waterman Presents The Hit Factory'' is a compilation album released in July 2012 collecting 39 hits produced by Pete Waterman. Included are a vast number of tracks that were written and produced by Waterman along with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken during their most successful period working as Stock Aitken Waterman, becoming among the most successful music producers of all-time. The release of the album coincided with ''Pete Waterman Presents The Hit Factory Live'', a concert that was due to take place in London’s Hyde Park on July 11, 2012 and featuring the classic artists from the 'Hit Factory' era together on one bill. Both Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were due to perform their million selling duet 'Especially For You' alongside Rick Astley, Sinitta, Bananarama and Hazell Dean but the concert was ultimately cancelled due to poor weather conditions. An early track listing included two hits by Donna Summer produced by Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989: 'I Don't Wanna Get Hurt' and 'This Time I Know It's For Real'. Early artwork for the CD showed the 7" single covers of the tracks featured on the compilation, and the Donna Summer tracks were originally shown. Some music retail websites still show this earlier artwork when promoting the CD. However, the final track listing and artwork replaced these songs with tracks by Loveland and Opus III, neither of which were produced by Waterman, nor were Stock Aitken Waterman productions. The bonus disc contained rarities including the obscure Morgan-McVey track 'Looking Good Diving (With The Wild Bunch)' from 1986 which is considered an early version of Neneh Cherry's breakthrough hit 'Buffalo Stance' in 1989. The rare mix of Kylie Minogue's 'What Do I Have To Do' was also well received, however, reaction to the compilation was largely negative with critics and would-be buyers criticizing the track-listing as too similar to the 2005 release ''Stock Aitken Waterman Gold''. == Track listing == CD one #Mel and Kim - Respectable (7" Version) Originally from ''F.L.M.'' #Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up Originally from ''Whenever You Need Somebody'' #Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky Originally from ''Kylie'' #Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) Originally from ''Youthquake'' #Bananarama - Love in the First Degree Originally from ''Wow!'' #Jason Donovan - Too Many Broken Hearts Originally from ''Ten Good Reasons'' #Sonia - You'll Never Stop Me Loving You Originally from ''Everybody Knows'' #Lonnie Gordon - Happenin' All Over Again (House Radio Edit ) Originally from ''If I Have to Stand Alone'' #Loveland featuring Rachel McFarlane - Let The Music (Lift You Up) (On Vocal Radio Edit ) Single release only #Sybil - When I'm Good And Ready Originally from ''Good 'N' Ready'' #Brother Beyond - The Harder I Try Originally from ''Get Even'' #Hazell Dean - Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go) (Edit ) Originally from ''Heart First'' #Divine - You Think You're A Man Originally from ''The Story So Far'' #Sinitta - Toy Boy Originally from ''Sinitta!'' #Big Fun - Blame It On the Boogie Originally from ''A Pocketful of Dreams'' #Pepsi and Shirlie - Heartache Originally from ''All Right Now'' #Princess - Say I'm Your Number One Originally from ''Princess'' #Kylie & Jason - Especially for You Originally from ''Ten Good Reasons'' #Steps - Heartbeat Originally from ''Step One'' CD two #Kylie Minogue - Hand On Your Heart Originally from ''Enjoy Yourself'' #Bananarama - Venus Originally from ''True Confessions'' #Hazell Dean - Who's Leaving Who Originally from ''Always'' #Cliff Richard - I Just Don't Have the Heart (Digital Remaster ) Originally from ''Stronger'' #Rick Astley - Together Forever (Leap Remix ) Originally from ''Hold Me in Your Arms'' #Sinitta - Cross My Broken Heart Originally from ''Sinitta!'' #Samantha Fox - Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now Originally from ''Samantha Fox'' #Dead Or Alive - Lover Come Back (To Me) Originally from ''Youthquake'' #Opus III - It's a Fine Day () Originally from ''Mind Fruit'' #Stock Aitken Waterman - Roadblock Single release only #Princess - I'll Keep On Loving You Originally from ''Princess'' #Lonnie Gordon - Beyond Your Wildest Dreams Originally from ''If I Have to Stand Alone'' #Jason Donovan - Sealed With A Kiss Originally from ''Ten Good Reasons'' #West End Featuring Sybil - The Love I Lost Originally from ''Doin' It Now'' #Brother Beyond - He Ain't No Competition Originally from ''Get Even'' #Sonia - Listen To Your Heart Originally from ''Everybody Knows'' #The Reynolds Girls - I'd Rather Jack Single release only #Mel & Kim - Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend) Originally from ''F.L.M.'' #Steps - Tragedy Originally from ''Steptacular'' #The WIP 2 Tribute Mix () Bonus disc #Princess - Say I'm Your Number One (to a King Mix ) #Mondo Kane - New York Afternoon (Version ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pete Waterman Presents The Hit Factory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
