Notes
Digitally remastered edition of this album from the '80s most mythical funk band. 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 it's 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).
