Not the classic 80s SAW sound, but a look forward into the 9

"Lonnie Gordon signed on with Stock Aitken Waterman too late in the game to enjoy the huge SAW success of artists such as Kylie, Rick Astley, Dead or Alive, and Jason Donovan. The only track that has a classic hi-nrg SAW sound here is the album mix of "If I Have to Stand Alone". What follows is a lot of the early 90s house sound, more in the style of Technotronic, but with the superior diva vocals of Lonnie. Plenty of bonus tracks make this reissue a must for dance fans. Track times:
1 If I Have To Stand Alone (3:25)
2 Happenin' All Over Again (3:20)
3 Better Off Without You (3:45)
4 Beyond Your Wildest Dreams (3:14)
5 I Need You (4:05)
6 That's No Reason (3:27)
