REVIEW: Stock Aitken Waterman 'Zine
- Bob Gajarsky
I know they're not "alternative", but if some consider Bananarama in that same vein...
There's a fanzine out of England chronicling past and future Stock Aitken Waterman productions. It's called Hit Factory, and the first issue is dated August, 1994.
SAW are best known in America for exposing (or cursing) America to Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue and Bananarama. However, in the U.K., their acts had a virtual stranglehold on the top of the charts during the latter part of the 1980s. Although the future of the trio is suspect, their past has spurned many collectors to try and obtain all of their associated collectibles.
The 40 page 'zine, including many photographs and interviews, highlights the history of the SAW legacy, including the most complete discography of SAW material available in any format. For more information or to purchase volume 1 (which costs 2.50L), drop a line to:
