22:50 he’s talking about “After the love has gone” remix that sounded like Chief inspector by Wally Badarou which I thought was the original version at first
1992 was a year that SAW practically folded but another production company started worldwide fame. That was Swedish Cheiron production with Dr Alban and Ace of Base records. Surprisingly enough their success story lasts until this day. I wonder whether SAW could last longer if they tried to adapt to new trends.
Don’t care what anyone says. I remember in 1987-1989 every song from SAW had ‘that’ beat. If there had been AI intelligence at the time this would have been the company that had it in the basement. So many songs within such a short time with so much Top 20 chart success. They definitely had a Midas touch but just for a short time. Great, happy, feel good songs, unlike now (2023). Happy times back then 😊. Watching ‘The Hitman and her’ was hard to watch with Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachaern was pretty embarrassing
There was two samples they always used, one was “victim of pleasure” Justin Strauss mix and the other was Kym Mazelle “wait” beats and pieces mix and a lot was Roland tr727 factory demo rhythms
Bananarama a US #1 with "Venus" and #4 with "I Heard A Rumour." Lots of other SAW produced songs did well in the US. Even "Dead or Alive" had good success with "You Spin Me Round."
Thanks for this! Love listening to Phils insight on the PWL days💯 Now i want his Book
on it all👍

Props for filming the video as if we were actually in the 80's! :-D Anyway love Phil's book and his work.
not sure if that was on purpose or due to financial restrictions hehe

Such a charismatic interviewer 🙄
I'm wondering when it was recorded. Around 2010 maybe?

Was this filmed in about 2010/11?

With the exception of Donna Summer, the superstar, some of the other acts were pretty bad, they did not make it in North America.
Rick Astley was a great one, he had two #1 in the United States ans was huge in the rest of the world

It wasn’t embarrassing, it was simply the USA didn’t get it , it was Rap and Rock ,rather bland , SAW were big all around the world
Rick Astley had 2. number 1 hits in America
