Description
Rediscover the cult albums of the '80s' most mythical funk band, remastered from the original master tapes.

Body Talk is the debut album by Imagination, produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released in 1981. It is one of the earliest albums of its genre to have a distinctive "British" sound as opposed to being an attempt to recreate contemporary American styles. The title track was an immediate hit, reaching #4 on the UK singles chart. Two further singles, "In and Out of Love" and "Flashback", also reached the Top 20. The album itself peaked at #20. Body Talk proved to be an enduring album, with the tracks "So Good, So Right" and "Burnin' Up" being cited as influential and ahead of their time (the latter has been acknowledged by Frankie Knuckles as a key track in the development of house music).

In the Heat of the Night is the second album by 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 #7 in the United Kingdom. "Just an Illusion" was the group's highest charting single, peaking at #2 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.
