Another Place and Time is an album by Donna Summer released in 1989. Originally a huge star during the disco era in the 1970s, Summer had experimented with different styles of music during the 1980s and had released several albums with Geffen Records. During this period Summer had experienced both success and failure with her work. She left Geffen after the release of her 1987 album All Systems Go, following a turbulent eight years during which time the label had refused to release much of her material including this album. Ahmet Ertegun, president of Atlantic Records at the time bought Donna Summer out of her contract with Geffen and released the album Another Place and Time.

Having signed to Atlantic Records, Summer's management suggested that she do an album with production team Stock Aitken Waterman ("S/A/W"), who at the time were the hottest producers on the planet. Since 1987 they had scored countless hits all over the world. They were famous for their unique "hit factory" sound, which was basically their own brand of 1980s synthpop/dance.

The resulting album, Another Place and Time was released in 1989. S/A/W wrote and produced all ten of the tracks, with Summer being credited as co-writer on three of them. The album contained the typical "hit factory" sound for which S/A/W were famous, as well as a couple of ballads. It was a worldwide success, and made the UK. Top 20. Many fans see it as Summer's "comeback" album, as she had had no real success in the album stakes since She Works Hard for the Money back in 1983. Despite its success, it has been criticised by fans for being overproduced and some feel that too many singles were released from it (five in total).[citation needed]


The first single, and the most successful, from this album was "This Time I Know It's For Real" which went top-ten on both sides of the atlantic. This was also, coincidentally, Summer's first Top 10 entry in the UK in ten years, since No More Tears (Enough is Enough) in 1979. It was followed there by another Top 10 entitled "I Don't Wanna Get Hurt" (also a hit in Europe) and a Top 20 - "Love's About To Change My Heart." "When Love Takes Over You" was also a UK single, as was "Breakaway", the latter to coincide with the release of a European compilation album released in 1990.

A second album was planned with S/A/W however Summer fell out with S/A/W and the tracks that later would be recorded by Lonnie Gordon.
