Another Place and Time is the fourteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Donna Summer, released on March 20, 1989 by Atlantic Records and Warner Records. The album was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and featured Summer's top-10 hit "This Time I Know It's for Real", which reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was her last top 40 hit on the chart.

Production and background

After enjoying immense stardom during the disco era in the 1970s, Summer had experimented with different styles of music during the 1980s and had released several albums with Geffen Records with varied results; Geffen had refused to release much of her material including her biggest post-1970s success, the 1983 album She Works Hard for the Money , which had only been released by virtue of being given to another label – Mercury Records – to satisfy a legal obligation between Summer and her 1970s label Casablanca Records. Summer's 1987 album All Systems Go would prove to be her final release on Geffen, although she recorded Another Place and Time while contracted to Geffen Records.

In 1987, while Summer and her husband Bruce Sudano were visiting the south of France, Sudano heard a Rick Astley track and was moved to suggest that Summer would be well-served by a collaboration with Stock Aitken Waterman (aka S/A/W), the songwriting and production team behind Astley. [2] S/A/W had in the mid-1980s established themselves as the undisputed masters of the UK Singles Chart, with the signature S/A/W "hit factory" sound—basically their own brand of 1980s synthpop/dance—translating into post-disco dance hits for such acts as Astley, Bananarama, and Kylie Minogue. Sudano evidently shared the opinion of Record Mirror critic Edward J Bernard, who reviewing Donna Summer's All Systems Go album in October 1987 , opined: "Now disco's back in vogue, Donna would be better served teaming up with S/A/W – her powerhouse lungs were made for just that kind of [over-the-top] production, and not the wimp rock she now chooses to make." [3] Although Summer herself became a fan of Astley's, the idea of a Donna Summer/ S/A/W collaboration apparently remained dormant until 1989, when Sudano and Pete Waterman of S/A/W crossed paths at the Pool Bar & Café at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Waterman being on an American promo junket with Astley. Waterman was receptive to Sudano's suggestion of S/A/W teaming with Donna Summer: (Pete Waterman quote:)"I was a fan [who had] bought her records". [4] also in 1974 Waterman had met Summer in Munich when he was an Magnet Records a&r man and she was a session singer who passed on Waterman's invitation to become a vocalist for Silver Convention, opting instead to record with Giorgio Moroder. [5] [6]

Pete Waterman of S/A/W on working with Donna Summer on Another Place & Time
When Donna Summer first started working with us, I [recall mutual] culture shock...We had never worked with a singer of Donna's ability, & certainly Donna had never worked with three songwriters who were more formulaic or specific about the task at hand. At first there was some friction as [both parties] tried to bridge the gap, but Donna soon understood that our squabbles were a way of achieving a final result. We [soon learned] that Donna had the ability to take what had been written, go behind the microphone & take it three times further than anything we had [envisioned]. [UltimatelyAnother Place And Time] stands as one of the most enjoyable [albums] we ever recorded, & part of our hi-NRG history, thanks to Donna's astounding ability to make any song she sang her own." [7]

Summer would say of the Another Place and Time album, recorded between September 1988 and January 1989 with S/A/W at PWL Studios in London, "There was no real themes we were looking for, except for dancing, love and relationships. The rest was the result of the collaboration between the producers and myself. The results were exactly what we were hoping for." [8] After some initial tensions over the direction of the recording sessions, the singer agreed to let SAW take the lead in the studio when Waterman convinced her the team knew what they were doing and would deliver her a hit. [9]

Summer would refer to S/A/W as ""very commercial-minded, much more than I am. [But] there's a time you need to be commercial...: to sell records, enough to be on a label. You need somebody to kind of monitor your sense of creativity." [10] "Maybe [S/A/W are] formularized in terms of what works in the marketplace, but I feel that everyone has a formula...I've never seen producers who work harder than these three guys". [5] Mike Stock of S/A/W would recall of working with Summer: "I was excited to work with Donna Summer simply because of her superb vocal ability...She had a magic to her that few artists have. I’d sing her my song, she’d learn it, then she’d sing it back with whistles and bells and all sorts of things going on. She had that skill and feel for music." [11]

The S/A/W team wrote all ten of the tracks for their collaboration with Summer, with the singer having co-writing credit on three tracks. The lead single from the S/A/W Donna Summer album, "This Time I Know It's for Real", was released in the United Kingdom—the focal point of S/A/W's success—on 13 February 1989, its release being not on Geffen Records but rather on Warner Bros. Records, which was Summer's label outside of the US. Debuting on the UK Singles Chart dated 25 February 1989 at number 42, "This Time I Know It's for Real" reached number three in March 1989, in the same month that Another Place and Time was released in Britain and continental Europe, where its lead single also became a top-ten hit. However Summer's international success came too late and/or failed to impress her American label Geffen Records, as Summer explained: "David [Geffen] said he didn't like the album. He said he wasn't going to put it out and I could sue him if I wanted to. I thought...great, then I'll go [elsewhere]." [10] (According to Summer, she had asked to Geffen several years earlier to cancel her contract and the label had refused.) [5] Reportedly Another Place and Time began selling as an import in the US where record companies began bidding for the album's American distribution rights: Summer at the time had no management and had to herself (with an attorney's assistance) negotiate for a US label deal for the release of Another Place and Time, with Atlantic finally releasing the album in the US in April 1989.

The 1989 release was sometimes well-received. For example, it was lauded by Barry Walters of the San Francisco Examiner as "easily [Summer's] best LP of new work since 1979's Bad Girls . Every track... sounds like a hit," [14] Similarly, Bill Coleman of Billboard considered Another Place and Time as "one of Summer's most satisfying and consistent [album] in a very long time", adding that "the delicious dance/pop numbers do serve as nice vehicles for the songstress' vocal charm", and that Summer "sounds very comfortable with the material and all of the tracks are easily programmable for clubs and radio". [15]

However, Another Place and Time generally underwhelmed critics at the time of its release, [16] [2] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] the reaction of Robin Smith of Record Mirror : "Donna's latest album comes across rather like a selection of reheated Kylie [Minogue] out-takes. Her voice has been over-diluted for mass radio-friendly appeal, and she's lost the fire of her early days", [23] and Gary Graff of the Detroit Free Press : "Once sultry and soulful, Summer has been whitewashed to sound like any other female hit-maker, a disturbing fate for one of America's dance-music trendsetters," [24] being echoed by Steve Simels of Stereo Review :

"Summer's [vintage] records...at least bore the stamp of a recognizable personality. Unfortunately, this comeback effort finds her in the ham-fisted grasp of British producer/writers Stock, Aitken, and Waterman, the last place any artist with even a shred of individuality should be. S/A/W run a well-oiled hit factory, and while there's no doubting the guys' commercial acumen, there's also no doubting that all their songs and all their records sound alike. Summer doesn't exactly get buried [here]; in fact, her genuine soulfulness occasionally threatens to inject a measure of reality into S/A/W's cotton-candy disco settings...Mostly, though, the album is lyrically banal (sometimes amazingly so), annoyingly clean-cut, and ultimately indistinguishable from previous S/A/W product." [25]

Retrospective assessments of Another Place and Time have been more positive. Alex Henderson of AllMusic.com praises the album, stating that it was "an excellent CD" and "one of the best albums that Summer provided in the '80s", rating "Whatever Your Heart Desires," "I Don't Wanna Get Hurt" and "This Time I Know It's for Real" as "exuberant, club-friendly Euro-dance/Hi-NRG gems". [1] In July 2018, Mark Elliot of Classic Pop underlined "Summer's impeccable delivery", considered Another Place and Time as "a pop masterpiece" which he ranked as the best album ever produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. [26]

The UK chart success of the album's lead single "This Time I Know It's for Real"—Summer's first UK top-ten hit since 1979 when her Barbra Streisand duet "No More Tears" reached number three—was paralleled by similar chart success in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. The single's success afforded its parent album a UK chart debut of number 17 the week ending 25 March 1989, although Another Place and Time would be unable best its debut position the album would set a longevity record for the UK chart tenure of any Donna Summer album at 28 weeks, 17 of them in the top 50. The UK chart tenure of Another Place and Time would occur in two segments, as after dropping from the top 100 album chart in July 1989 after 18 charting weeks the album re-entered in September 1989 to again rise as high as number 17. Reportedly Another Place and Time became Summer's first gold-certified album since 1979.

In its US release Another Place and Time was certified gold and also yielded a top-ten hit single, Summer's first since "She Works Hard for the Money" in 1983, in "This Time I Know It's for Real". While Another Place and Time yielded a second top-ten hit, "I Don't Wanna Get Hurt", in the UK—where a third single, "Love's About to Change My Heart", would reach number 20—"This Time I Know It's for Real" would be the album's only major hit single in the US. "I Don't Wanna Get Hurt" was passed over for single release there in favor of "Love's About to Change My Heart", whose Hot 100 peak would be number 85 and reflected a lack of sustained interest in the album.

Planned follow-up album and re-release

A second album was planned with Stock Aitken Waterman, however Summer never found the time to get back to the UK, and the tracks were later recorded by singer Lonnie Gordon. [27]

In 2014, the album was re-released in the UK in a 3-CD deluxe edition as well as digital downloads, containing a remastered original album, plus extended versions, original versions and remixes.

In 2019, the album was reissued for its 30th anniversary as a 3-CD deluxe edition, a 2LP red/silver vinyl edition as well as digital downloads, containing the original studio album and a large selection of extra singles mixes, 6 unreleased mixes and 2 anniversary megamixes.

CD+Graphics Edition CD+G

In 1989 an enhanced CD+Graphics version of the album was also released. Identified with the word graphics under the compact disc logo printed on the CD and a distinctive long case compared to the standard CD case. CD+Graphics, often shortened to CD+G or CDG featured additional coding within the CD data that played as a normal CD but could also be read by CD based computer systems such as the Philips CD-i. When played back additional 8-bit graphic based visual media could then be displayed on a connected TV screen sequenced with the music being played. Although several artists released CDG versions of their albums including Fleetwood Mac and Anita Baker the CDG format never took off. It found popularity as the basis for karaoke systems and is still used today. The CDG versions were made in relatively small numbers which makes them very rare and they have become collectibles as a result.

The Donna Summer Anthology is a double compilation album by the American singer Donna Summer, released by Polygram Records in 1993. The compilation featured the majority of Summer's best known songs right from the start of her success to the present day. Summer had originally made her name during the disco era in the 1970s and in the decade that followed had experimented with different styles. Most of the tracks on this compilation are the original album versions of the songs, which were sometimes edited down for their release as a single. Included for the first time are two remixed tracks from her then unreleased album I'm a Rainbow, which had been recorded in 1981 but was shelved by her record company. The album also featured the Giorgio Moroder-penned and produced song "Carry On"', marking the first time Summer and Moroder had worked together since 1981. Summer and Moroder, together with Pete Bellotte had written the vast majority of her 1970s disco hits. Four years later, "Carry On" would be remixed and become a big dance hit. It also won Summer a Grammy for Best Dance Recording, her first win since 1984 and her fifth win in total.
