Background and Recording
In 1987, during a Fitzroy Football Club benefit concert the other cast members of Neighbours put on their own talent stage show. Minogue had not prepared anything so she got up on stage and performed a cover version of "Loco-Motion" - she was then immediately was signed to a recording contract with Mushroom Records. The song was released as a single in Australia, and became the highest selling single of the 1980s. Its success resulted in Minogue travelling to London with Mushroom Records executive Gary Ashley to work with Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They knew little of Minogue and had forgotten that she was arriving; as a result, they wrote "I Should Be So Lucky" while she waited outside the studio. Minogue recorded the song in less than an hour, and returned home to Australia to work on Neighbours. The song became a huge chart success, and Mike Stock travelled to Melbourne to apologize to Minogue for forgetting about her previous recording session and whilst there, Kylie recorded her next single, "Got to Be Certain" along with album track, and the Japan only single release, "Turn It Into Love". and Stock successfully convinced Minogue to return to London in the beginning of 1988 to record songs for her debut album.
