Another Place and Time is the fourteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Donna Summer, released on March 13, 1989 by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records.[2]
The album was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman (S/A/W), a successful British production team known for their signature 1980s synthpop sound.
The collaboration between Summer and S/A/W was suggested by her husband, Bruce Sudano, after hearing a track by Rick Astley, another artist produced by the team. While initially hesitant, Summer eventually embraced their commercial approach, recording the album between September 1988 and January 1989 at PWL Studios in London.
The album's lead single, "This Time I Know It's for Real", achieved significant success in the UK, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart. Despite its international popularity, Geffen Records refused to release the album in the U.S., prompting Summer to find a new label. Atlantic Records eventually released Another Place and Time in the U.S. in April 1989.
The collaboration marked a shift in Summer's career after she had explored various musical styles throughout the 1980s with Geffen Records. Despite the mixed success of her previous albums, Another Place and Time 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 in the United States.
