Jeb Million - Second Time Around

I didn't know about this Stock, Aitken & Waterman production. But the A.Linn drum plate, the echo voice, some things, the tune remember their style and sound technology.
Here what SuperEuroBeat wrote about this song

This is a very rare early production from Stock Aitken Waterman. Jeb is a canadian singer originally from Ottowa. From MELODY MAKER, 30 AUGUST 1986: "JUST call me a quirky pop traditionalist,"...

Annica - I Can't Deny A Broken Heart (Special Remix)

This isn't a Stock, Aitken & Waterman production, but it's really Eurobean sound similar to their productions.

Tormentoni web: Rickrolling, quando la popstar diventa mito (virtuale):
