Red Hot + Dance (compilation)
April saw the release of the second compilation to include Madonna, namely 'Red Hot + Dance', an album produced by the Red Hot Organisation, which is dedicated to raising money and awareness of HIV/AIDS.
The album, released by Epic (Sony) in the UK includes the Madonna track ‘Supernatural’ which was exclusively remixed (‘Original Arms House Mix’) for the project. The artwork was once again supplied by the artist and social activist Keith Haring, who had previously provided the artwork for the ‘Special Olympics – A Very Special Christmas’ album.
Pop star George Michael was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition and the album was notable for featuring three new songs by him which, apart from "Too Funky", which was released as a charity single, are exclusive to this album. George Michael later launched a legal action against record label Sony, citing their lack of support for this project as one of the reasons he no longer wished to work with them.
For the collector, there is a rarer addition to the usual run of vinyl, cassette and CD as it was also issued as a limited availability mini-disc.
