In the Heat of the Night is the second album by British soul/dance group Imagination, produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released in 1982. In the Heat of the Night was Imagination's most successful album, reaching No. 7 in the United Kingdom. "Just an Illusion" was the group's highest charting single, peaking at No. 2 (kept off the top spot by the Goombay Dance Band's "Seven Tears"), and also making the top 10 in several other countries in Western Europe and Scandinavia. It was covered by Destiny's Child on their self-titled album and Mariah Carey sampled this song for her hit "Get Your Number" in her 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi. "Music and Lights" was another UK top 5 hit, and "In the Heat of the Night" and "Changes" also charted.

Imagination helped soundtrack the 80s with a series of stunning pop hits and club friendly mixes. Neither demure nor modest (they were once ordered to cover up when meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales), their outrageous stage presence masked a surprisingly deep well of songwriting talent and a vastly underrated catalogue of recordings. Indeed their music continues to sound fresh and as this collection proves their success was certainly no illusion. Enjoy.

Following the success of the first 'Box Of Sin' in 2023, Demon / Edsel and Disco Discharge are proud to announce the sequel 'More Sin: Box of Sin 2' will be released this February 2025. Over 4 LPs, 'More Sin' presents 29 choice selections from the music you might have heard on Queer dancefloors between 1980 and 1989; a decade of dance in all it's devilish delights. Meticulously researched from the published gay club charts at the time, this CD set encompasses full length versions of Diva, High Energy, Alternative, Pop, Europop and House classics. Not only were the '80s Queer clubs where you were most likely to hear the latest groundbreaking developments in dance music, there was a lot of diversity on offer. On any given night you might hear a legendary soul singer's new opus right next to some post punks from Manchester and the latest European pop chart topper. 'More Sin' aims to reflect this.

On Breakfast in Bed, her first release on Time Life Records (yes, that Time Life) Joan Osborne tackles a crop of hand-picked soul and R&B favorites with equal parts sass and sensitivity. Long an underappreciated artist, Osborne is a performer with the wisdom to exercise vocal restraint for an effect that's more Dusty Springfield than Christina Aguilera. Her fine previous outing interpreting soul standards was aptly titled How Sweet It Is, and witness her contribution to the terrific 2002 film Standing in the Shadows of Motown, where Osborne's astute readings of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" and "Heatwave" outshone performers like Ben Harper and Gerald Levert (happily, both songs are included here).

Amazon Review by Tim from Surrey
All the Imagination albums in one collection, together with some bonus tracks.Imagination took the music world by storm with the debut hit of "Body Talk", and the hits continued with 'Just an illusion', 'looking at midnight' and so on. Sadly, with the release of 'Scandalous', and the first single from the album 'new dimensions' the fortunes of Imagination began to change, and they never returned to the top ten again. By the mid-1980s, they just faded away. This collection is definitely a wonderful 5 CD set, and is absolutely superb value.
