Lanzada para marcar los 30 años que la llamada Hit Factory obtuvo su primer
número en el Reino Unido con "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" de Dead
Or Alive, Mike Stock, Matt Aitken y Pete Waterman han decidido lanzar
un box-set especial de 31 discos para narrar cronologicamente 31 temas
de 31 artistas diferentes entre los que se cuenta a Kylie Minogue y
Jason Donovan, Rick Astley, Bananarama, la leyenda del disco Donna
Summer, la banda de cyber punk Sigue Sigue Sputnik, hasta la leyenda
Motown Edwin Starr.
Cada CD single remasterizado viene con su portada correspondiente en forma de tarjeta recreando la portada del vinilo original, más mixes de 12", B-sides raros y bonus tracks, en algunos casos vienen ediciones A con dos singles promocionales, en total son 31 discos con un total de 250 tracks, muchos de los cuales no habían sido lanzados previamente, lo cual hace de este box-set una especie de must-have para cualquier coleccionista, melomano y conocedor del pop de los 80's, además un libreto de 48 páginas con las letras, la discografía y por supuesto comentarios de Pete Waterman y una serie de notas nuevas, unas calcomanías exclusivas y un set de postales.
La historia nos cuenta que a principios de 1984, el equipo SAW se junto, en 1985 logro varios hits con Divine y Hazell Dean, y por supuesto con Dead Or Alive, luego vino el éxito de Princess con "Say I'm Your Number One", los hits continuaron con Bananarama y "Venus" luego Mel & Kim y en 1987 la cosa despego por completo gracias al éxito de artistas como: Samantha Fox, Sinitta, Rick Astley, Kylie, Jason, Sonia y luego en 1989 la reina del Disco Donna Summer, todos ellos lograron hits y números 1 alrededor del mundo.
Fueron más de 100 hits que llegaron a tener solo en el Reino Unido, entre esos se cuentan 30 número 1, hasta que vino la debacle cuando Matt Aitken se fue del trio en 1991, sin duda el box-set es manera de dar a conocer la manera tan completa en que trabajaba el trio, más alla del mito que eran más que nada un grupo de productores que hacía las cosas de lo más artificial y sin sentido, el trabajo de SAW vino un diversidad de estilo desde el Hi-Energy pop que los caracterizó pasando por otros estilo como house, techno pop, extraños hits como el raro track "Roadblock", ahora bien lo curioso del caso es que no viene aquel tema que le hicieron a la selección inglesa que participo en la Euro del 88, eso si viene raras joyas como el hit estadounidense que tuvo el grupo de chicas Boy Krazy "That's What Love Can Do" y la relajada "New York Afternoon" con Georgie Fame.

Yo quiero el balaeracidic Mix de success de los sputnik, difícil de conseguir
Si imágino que sí, Sigue Sigue Sputnik no era tan mala banda como lo solían decir, yo personalmente los asocie con el film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" donde aparece un tema de ellos, es curioso no sabía hasta ahorita que SAW le produjo un single.
