The Hit Factory: The Best of Stock Aitken Waterman Vol 2 is a compilation album released in November 1988 by Fanfare Records and PWL Records. It is an album featuring hits produced by British production trio Stock Aitken Waterman, who were at their peak at the time of the album's release.
Release
The first compilation, The Hit Factory: The Best of Stock Aitken Waterman, was issued by Stylus Records in 1987. The range of tracks on Volume 2 includes four special 12" remixes, exclusive to the set, and also a previously unavailable track by American group Sequal. The album gained a platinum BPI Award and reached No. 16 in the UK Top 100 Albums Chart. When compilation albums were excluded from the main chart on January 14, 1989, the album crossed to the new UK Compilation Chart for the remainder of its run.
The Hit Factory Vol 2 was also released in Japan by PWL in association with Alfa Records. Although the albums share the same name, they have an entirely different track listing.
