Album Notes & Community Reviews

Partnering extensively with the legendary Stock Aitken Waterman production trio, the British girl group fully embraced the relentless, synthesized pulse of the Euro-disco era. 'Wow!' spawned multiple international chart-toppers, transforming the trio from new wave darlings into undisputed dance-pop royalty. The record's sleek, high-energy sound heavily defined the commercial aesthetic of late-eighties club music.
