Tracks on the first and longest running release kicked-off with Adeva 's version of 'Respect' while Underground favourites such as 'Break 4 Luv' by Raze and Hithouse's 'Jack To The Sound Of The Underground (Acid Mix)' ensured the album reached the top of the newly created Compilation Chart, the first of many.ĭuring 1989, Telstar saw each of their 5 Deep Heat compilations reach the Compilation Top 5, the first four peaked at either #1 or #2, all gaining Gold BPI Awards for UK sales over 250,000. The success of the series was partly due to the CD boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s and it was the first time full 12" Mixes could be commercially bought on Compact Disc. What was initially unique about the Deep Heat collections was that they contained exclusive 12" Remixes of recent Club Hits, instead of Extended versions of Chart Hits featured on similar collections such as Now Dance 89 which was charting around the same time as the first Deep Heat albums. The record company, which had formed in 1982, had achieved modest success with Dance-themed multi-artist compilation albums with notable successes in the genre including the Dance Mix collections of 19 and The Best Of House '88. Launching in March 1989 with the Number 1 album Deep Heat - 26 Hottest House Hits, the brand achieved a successful four year run and set the footprint for Dance Music Compilations for many years to come. Telstar Records' range of Deep Heat compilations were one of the first house music collections to be released by a Specialist Marketing firm in the United Kingdom.
