The Wonderful Rick Astley!!!
What can I say? I got this album on cassette when I was 10. I've played it so much it's worn out! Obviously all the hits, such as 'Never gonna give you up', 'Together Forever', 'Whenever you need somebody' and 'When I fall in love' are on it, but the tracks that were never released are pretty fantastic too. Strong man is one of my favourite tracks of all time. This is Stock, Aitken and Waterman, and some of Rick's own stuff, at their very best. If you buy this album you won't regret it.

The sound of a young bright Britain...
Young Englishman Rick turned into an overnight superstar with this album which contains the universal hits Never Gonna Give You Up, Together Forever, Whenever You Need Somebody and When I Fall In Love. It comes as no surprise that each of the 4 singles above has reached the #1 spot somewhere around the world. With slick production from Stock/Aitken/Waterman and Phil Harding/Ian Curnow, the PWL team turned the tables on everyone and came up with a multi-platinum album. The best thing about Rick is of course his voice. The roar of a lion coming from the depths of a human. The songs written and produced by SAW are superb and brilliant and it took Rick's vocal to make them superior. White kid singing Motown songs. Never Gonna Give You Up is in the running for the best pop song of all time. Rick contributes 4 of his own songs in this album but they don't have the crunch of the SAW songs but No More Looking For Love and The Love Has Gone are solid. It's a great album to have and the sleeve is cool including a small essay on Rick. Buy it or be square!

The Red-Haired Brit with the Booming Voice!
This is a great S/A/W produced album with top ten hits such as Together Forever and Never Gonna Give you up. While these two songs can be found on many SAW compilations as well as any 80's compilation, the rest of the album is brillant! The production is typical S/A/W fare, but you have to admit, their sound is very unique. Add that together with Rick's great voice and you have yourself a hit album!

The album of 1987, by one of the best artists of the 80's
Contains 4 of his 6 top ten hits. Even though songs like together forever sound very dated, songs like never gonna give you up, even today are still good to listen to. Couple these songs to rick's amazing voice and you get a 5 star album.
