Released in 1988, Get Even is a landmark of late-80s British boy-band pop. The "main story" of this album is the band's dramatic transformation from struggling musicians into chart-toppers after being paired with the legendary production team Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW). After their initial singles failed, SAW remixed "The Harder I Try," utilizing a Motown-inspired beat that sent the song to #2 on the UK charts and made the band instant teen idols. The album captures the bright, optimistic, and highly polished "hit factory" sound that dominated the era.

Features: This specific copy is a UK first pressing on the Parlophone label. Crucially, it still features the original blue circular hype sticker on the front cover, which lists the hits "The Harder I Try" and "He Ain't No Competition". This is a key feature for collectors of 80s pop memorabilia.

Condition:

• Sleeve (VG+): The cover remains crisp with a small "3/9" price sticker on the top right. It is housed in a protective plastic sleeve.

• Media (EX): The vinyl surface shows a high luster with clean Parlophone labels and minimal spindle wear.
