In late 1993, Rick Astley quit music and went on a long hiatus that lasted until 1998 when he met Paul Waterman to discuss a potential comeback to PWL. Around that time, he began recording demos of some new songs with other songwriters, most notably Chris Braide. He presented those demos to Polydor, who offered him a deal, which led to a very rare promotional CD containing 10 demos from his future album (Keep It Turned On), “Songwriter (New Song Demos)", being released to showcase the new material.

For a long time those demos haven't surfaced on the internet, until recently. We went from 0 sources to 3 sources in just 2 weeks! The 1st source was very rough quality and also contained demos not found on Songwriter (tracks 11-16), which I remastered to make them more enjoyable to listen. The Songwriter CD rip was provided to us by Moon in lossless quality, which I also remastered but more lightly. Romeo & Juliet (Demo 3) and The Show (Demo) come from a totally different unofficial demo album shared on Sharemania, nicknamed "The New York Cowboy Demos". The bonus tracks include the single of Keep It Turned On's title track released in 2002 (tracks 19-21), the finished version of The Show sung by Lauren Waterworth and produced by Pete Waterman, and Dancing In The Rain, track written by Rick Astley but sang by Engelbert Humperdinck, originally meant for Keep It Turned On and has very similar production and maintains the original background vocals by Rick.

I put a lot of work into this, and I hope you enjoy it!
Sincerely, 0xrr
