1. Get Even

   Get Even is the debut album of British boy band/pop group Brother Beyond, released on EMI/Parlophone label, in two different editions, both in 1988, generally referred to as Get Even I and Get Even II. The second edition of the album saw two tracks written by the band replaced with ones produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The album's songs were composed between 1986, when their very first single "I Should Have Lied" - the only one Brother Beyond single not to make the UK Top 75 - was issued, and 1988, the year of the album's release. The two SAW tracks, "The Harder I Try" and "He Ain't No Competition", were added to the album after EMI won the production team's services at a charity auction and became the band's only UK Top 10 hits. Like many British bands at the time, Brother Beyond enjoyed more success in continental Europe than at home, especially in Italy where their second single "How Many Times" was a big hit in 1987. In their native Great Britain it would take until the Summer of the following year and the release of the Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman produced track "The Harder I Try" for the band to score a hit. The song reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart, held from the top spot by Phil Collins' multi-million seller "A Groovy Kind of Love". "The Harder I Try" famously samples the drum intro from The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart of Mine", and indeed the song has a distinct Motown feel. The same can be said of its successor "He Ain't No Competition", which reached Number 6 in November 1988. The 12" version of the song had already topped the Hi-NRG charts in October, knocked off by the Samantha Fox cover of "I Only Wanna Be with You", again produced by SAW.
