Stock Aitken Waterman / Say I’m Your Number One: 30CD box set

Does anyone know if this has now been deleted as I am struggling to buy one

I hope there is a Volume II! I NEED Pat And Mick’s Use It Up And Wear It Out on CD!!!!

I hope the instrumental of Mel & Kim’s Respectable is the backing track, it’s a shame more of their stuff is not included as there is lots more still unheard by the public with the exception of certain people. Same goes for PWL tracks,there is a hell of a lot more that people would literally die to get their hands on.

amazon uk link is now updated for preordering!

certainly hope edsel/demon make note of how many non-uk/ireland folks order these sets from amazon and other sites to try and work out the licensing issue that keeps us from ordering the special editions…..

after buying the donna summer albums box set the only reason to buy the donna summer singles set is to get the bonus disc…. :-(

Oups Lonnie, sorry :-s It wasn’t intended lol

Max, ‘Loonie Gordon’ lol :-)

The contents of the Kylie & Jason CD are interesting. Not counting backing tracks, there should be 8 tracks on this CD — the 7 that are listed above, plus the the Instrumental of “All I Wanna Do Is Make You Mine” (which is available on iTunes, so it definitely exists).

The missing instrumental has not yet appeared on a remastered Kylie or Jason CD, so perhaps PWL is keeping all tracks that fall into that category for a Kylie PWL CD singles box set (basically everything from the iTunes bundles that didn’t appear on the recent Kylie reissues, minus the backing tracks, but perhaps including a few other previously unreleased mixes).

Hoping for stand-alone Dead or Alive box…

This box set is amazing. LOVE SAW. It’s sad though, that my favorite artist in this whole box set (Laura Branigan) has the skimpiest CD single. No fault to anyone, it’s just how things were back then with her as an artist. She never really got the recognition she truly deserved. I am very grateful that she is included in this boxset, however. I was a bit surprised too since the song only got as high as #78. Thanks Demon :)

I wish Demon or Cherry Pop would get a hold of her catalog. That would be awesome.

My understanding and from past experience, when Demon offer limited quantities of stuff like the Paul Young signed Tomb of Memories, is when all have been bought the “add to cart” button disappears from their listing.

So if you’ve successfully bought through their webpage you will have got the 31st Disc as it does say it’s limited to 500 units

Plus… EXCLUSIVE to Demon Music Group Store and limited to 500 units!
Bonus 31st Disc… to mark the 31st anniversary of the very first SAW single!

31 – AGENTS AREN’T AEROPLANES – THE UPSTROKE (#93, 1984)

Have ordered via Demon for the bonus disk. First time bought with them so wondered am I guaranteed the bonus disk. The website product listing isn’t clear and the email acknowledgement doesn’t say it’s for the exclusive version either.
Will be great to go with my Bananarama singles box which I am gradually listening to as one CD every few days.
Agree with comments if PWL do a Kylie singles box like these that’s another day 1 buy. It’s suspicious none of her standalone singles included in this set.

AMAZING. Is there anyway of finding out if the instrumental for Respectable is the “dub” mix? Or a true instrumental. It would also be nice to know if all the instrumentals are proper ones or have backing vocals like many do on the Bananarama boxset which slightly disappointed me.

A little bird just told me,if these do well we can elook foward to more volumes.

Any Dusty Springfield fans?A cd singles box set is in the early stages,Ive been asked if I had any pristine picture sleeves of Dusty in my collection.

So some people in the UK will buy many boxes to sell them to the other collectors in the world. It’s not very funny because those buyers will get much money over ebay only because they live in the UK. I emailed to Demon Music to get the box shipped to Germany. Perhaps I have good luck…

It’s now listed as “currently unavailable” on Amazon and the link to the Demon store is down. Not a good sign. Unanticipated licensing issues?

Does anyone have any idea how I can order the 31 disc version as I live in the USA? I even changed my ip address to the UK but as soon as you change the shipping address to the USA, you can’t continue with your order. Does anyone know an english based retailer or webshop that would have the 31 disc version?

Where are (1) Big Fun (2) Sybil (3) Delage (4) Errol Brown (5) Suzette Charles (6) Cool Notes (7) Pat & Mick (8) Nany Davis (9) Erik (10) Fresh (11) Gloria Gaynor (12) Pepsi & Shirlie (13) Kakko (14) Georgie Fame (15) WWF (16) Malcolm McLaren (17) Mint Juleps (18) Reynolds Girls (19) Cliff Richard (20) Romi & Jazz (21) Slamm (22) Paul Varney, etc?? Hopefully there’s a volume 2!!

Quite a variety of tunes, I got a bootleg copy of Michael Davidson remixes which was poor quality, so hopefully the remasters are flawless…..tried to preorder on Amazon, not open for pre order as yet – I am guessing if this is a success more SAW boxes will follow!! PSB, Madonna, Kylie boxsets would be excellent to have!! Heard rumours of Pat Benatar and Cher singles box sets in the pipeline!!

If the Judas Priest collaboration was in here I’d be all over it!!

I had hoped there was some hidden remixes of Donna’s This time… My favorite track yet no dubs, alternative mixes hidden in the SAW universe?

In reference to the Rick Astley tracks, are they using the same remasters from the double CD sets put out a few years back? I found the sound way too loud, compressed and flat. Anyone out there hear it the same way?

Whilst the idea is great and the price is expensive for a lot of people who just want the odd 1 or 2, at least now the tracks have been found dusted off and will be getting released – so maybe in the future these tracks will begin to appear on future compilations.

I would love to buy these but can`t justify £100 for a couple of track`s i am after but if they appear in a lossless format somewhere to buy i would buy.

But like i said…. at least the tracks are now seeing the light of day.

I guess I am not a fan of endless remixes. This one won’t be going in my music collection.

Too bad that Packjammed (With The Party Posse) didn’t make it into the set. I actually preferred that track to Roadblock.

Mondo Kane!-New York Afternoon. At long last. Yes, yes, yes a thousand times yes!!!!!!! The rest of it ain’t bad either.

Let’s hope for a volume 2 Box set Of Stock Aitken Waterman singles with even rarer 12 mixes and singles: Delage Running Back For More CD single would be sweet!

Heehee, my friend Jeb’s 2 singles are in there. He was rather disappointed (to say the least) that both the first (Second Time Around) as well as the follow-up (Speed Up My Heartbeat) didn’t even make the top 100 in 1986, a rare misfire from SAW. I think that the fact that SAW didn’t write either song (Jeb wrote them) was all to do with why they weren’t successful.

I am certainly going to get this, as soon as the preorder link works from amazon. I missed the Michael Davidson listing, must have scrolled to fast.
But to have a cd single of Mandy Smith and Sinitta, WOW!

Why is the “Original Mix” of Donna Summer’s “Whatever Your Heart Desires” not the on her forthcoming Singles Box Set ? It was only on a Japanese 3″ CDsingle. Money milking!!
For me are only 5-6 mixes really interesting.
So I think this is the first step for Singles Box Sets
from different PWL artists:
Kylie Minogue, Mel & Kim, Brother Beyond and Dead Or Alive.
So I will wait and save my money…

Wow, another boxset. I’ll tell my boss to put my salary on the Edsel bank account directly :P I pre-ordered Bananarama, still waiting for it from jpc.de! Received my Belinda (for €99,99)! It has the I Get Weak Instrumental on it according to the tracklisting :P I still have to listen to all my newly bought CD’s! There are about 20~23 CD’s I like from the 30/31 CD-set! Rick Astley, Kylie & Jason, Princess, Mel & Kim, Hazell Dean, Dead Or Alive, Brother Beyond, Mandy Smith, Sam Fox, Sinitta, Bananarama, Sonia, O’chi Brown, Donna Summer, Lonnie Gordon, Haywoode, Sabrina, S/A/W, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Brilliant, etc. Never heard of the Agents Aren’t Aeroplanes – The Upstroke. Was it any good? I have no idea.

I also like to see Brilliant in a Super Deluxe Edition. I was hoping to see this box including Brilliant – The End Of The World remixes. ;(

What’s next Edsel? How about 30 CD’s full 80 mins each of SAW/PWL unreleased or vinyl only remixes now on CD from various artists :P

I’ve just forked out for the Bananarama box so this one will have to wait. Where’s Sybil – The Love I Lost or When I’m Good And Ready. Also, bit strange they’ve opted for just Especially For You to represent Kylie & Jason… hopefully a sign there’s a Kylie box in the pipeline as good as the Bananarama one – I’d have to fork out for that too!!

wow just wow, sure there will be Vol 2, 3, 4…

I’m actually surprised at how excited I am for this. I’d probably be willing to pay half the list price for just the Michael Davidson single, which is one of my favorite songs from the Who’s That Girl soundtrack, and the mixes have never been available on CD that I’ve been able to find. That I know of, he only ever released two singles–too bad the other one isn’t on here (though I’m not sure it was PWL). This is moving to the very top of my wishlist.

Excellent box set after the Bananarama and Donna summer boxes sets they are really spoiling us. Roll on Erasure , Pet Shop Boys and Kylie box sets.

Really torn…

Dead Or Alive’s ‘In Too Deep’ (mixes) on CD for the first time is obviously very amazing and the biggest draw here, closely followed by Carol Hitchcock and Princess. Those with Bananarama (again) and Divine have my piggy bank twitching.

The rest, I’ve little to no interest in. Shame they aren’t being sold as separates … a sort of ‘build your own Hit Factory box’ would have been ace.

One step nearer to Dead Or Alive reissues – so close now I can almost smell them!

I won’t be getting this. It’s too expensive and yet another cash in. A lot of the remixes are on the reissued albums. There are only 3 or 4 discs I would like but not paying nearly £100 quid for them.

These box sets are my personal brand of heroin,whats extra great is I have the old dusty 7inchs of most of these,I can recall where I got them,the weather everything…bizzare.

Some great choices here,would have preffered Precious Wilson “Only the strong survive” instead of S.S sputnkik.Also strange there is no Big Fun?

I have waited years for the Short Version of Say I’m Your Number One to appear on cd – brilliant muted trumpet line.

Not possible today : Pre-order from Official Store for SIGNED bonus disc (31 CD) ???

£100 for 31 CDs is very good value. Love the Divine and Hazel Dean songs. Brilliant’s “Somebody” is good one too.

Typically, they bung one of the rarest singles (Agents Aren’t Aeroplanes) on a bonus disc. They KNOW that track is impossible to find, even on YouTube!

Other than that, I am delighted that a set like this is being released. It’s long overdue. Pity about some of the choices (my relationship with SAW’s music was always a bit hit-or-miss), but hopefully more releases like this will follow.

Just a correction to my Laura Branigan comment: I should have really said the PWL team, rather than S/A/W specifically – ‘Mixmaster’ Pete Hammond always came up with some f’ing awesome mixes/remixes!

One more thing…..

Such a shame there are so few mixes of Laura Branigan’s “Shattered Glass” – I f’ing love that song! I can only DREAM of the multitude of amazing mixes and remixes S/A/W could have done with it.

Aw, man this is AWESOME! I get more and more excited with every new singles box that comes out! I hope Kylie gets a proper one – the K25 box sounded good IN THEORY, but when I realised it was only 2 single tracks per disc I didn’t bother – a real wasted opportunity. And an outrageous asking price to boot!

And it’s great to see some real rarities here (Carol Hitchcock!!!!!) – including some I’ve never even heard of – not just the usual suspects. (although I do wish Reynolds Girls “I’d Rather Jack” had been included!)

I just hope and pray they have the correct speed for Hazell Dean’s “Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go)” – there is a 12″ (or extended) version that has appeared on various compilation albums and vinyl/CD singles THAT SOUNDS TOO FAST! And on top of that, it sounds like it’s been given a very early fade-out.

I’m glad we get Dead Or Alive’s In Too Deep (O.ff Yer Mong Mix) finally on cd

Odd that the Demon website doesn’t say anything about the 31st CD being signed?

I must admit, this does look good… There are some I really want (especially “Turn It Up” by Michael Davidson). This goes to my Amazon wishlist, hopefully some kind soul will buy this for me for Christmas. After buying the Bananarama singles box and pre-ordering the Donna Summer box, I may have reached my limit right now…

I wonder if there will be a full on PWL Kylie CD singles box set, since all the material has already been remastered and this box only has the Kylie and Jason duets… Fingers crossed!

This is a pretty groovy release, and obviously greenlit by the success of the Bananarama box (which narrowly missed the top 100 on week of release). Some great stuff in here (love the Bananas, 3 Degrees, Princess, Divine, Haywoode, Hazell Dean offerings) – and some stuff which I would totally pass on. But what is mouth-watering is the first toe-dip into the Dead or Alive back catalogue, which include a mix of Spin Me Round I have not previously come across.

Don’t think I’ll be shelling out a ton for many things I don’t want which will take up precious shelf space, but this new trend of CD single collections is a really good thing, and support for these releases is vital if we are ever going to get the dream boxsets by the likes of DOR, Sade, Moyet and co.

A must purchase for me. I’m a huge SAW / PWL fan, but live in the US. Has anybody used Borderlinx or similar 3rd party shippers that receive the order (in this case in the UK from Demon) for shipment to the US or Canada? I’m very interested in using such a service, if reputable, for this set since I really want that 31st signed CD. Thanks for any info you have.

Wouldn’t mind the Brilliant and Sigue Sigue Sputnik singles
