About this deal

Warner Chappell Music Ltd/Windswept Pacific Music Ltd. ℗ 1999 Progress Records Ltd, under exclusive license to Mercury Records Ltd. (London). Licensed from Universal Music Licensing Division. This is undoubtedly the best in the series, at least in my opinion. Both CD's in this album seem to focus purely on dance music other than a few slower songs here and there. This is really the defining release with the quality of both CDs being top-notch and never faltering.

Universal Music Publishing Ltd. ℗ 1999 Bliss Corporation, under exclusive license to Warner Music UK Ltd.. Licensed courtesy of Warner Music UK Ltd.. I think part of it must have been down to the extreme commercialisation of dance music that had happened since 1998 and this was kind of where it really really took root. Serious Worldwide Publishing/Chrysalis Music. ℗ 1999 Incentive Music Ltd. Licensed courtesy of Ministry Of Sound. The series continues with its first sequel here, also in 1993. This album is an improvement over the first release purely because the quality of both CD's overall is better. The first album had a fantastic first CD, and while the second was very good it did bring down the overall score somewhat. Here, both CD's are really great and focuses again on dance music between 1987-1993. Much like the 2002 release, this one had a lot going for it and things were heading in the right direction. However, many off-genre songs and questionable choices lower the overall quality. This was the last release for six years before they brought out that hideous revival in 2009.

This album is a mixed bag, containing a good CD while the other was very flawed mainly for including off-genre music. This is where the series sadly started to really dip in quality. Here we have an album to represent 1996 and you would think that there would be a lot of actual dance music right? Guess again. Warner Chappell Music Ltd/PolyGram Music Publishing Ltd/Don't Funk Wit My Gamma Publishing. ℗ 1999 Zomba Records Ltd. Licensed courtesy of Pepper/ Zomba Records.

Well it's the start of 1993 and dance has broken into the mainstream in the UK and the companies are looking to tap that market; enter 'the best dance album in the world... ever' series.I think this was the first one I bought on release (or rather had it bought for me). I would have been 12 years old and heavily into music at this point. Whilst it's not one of my favourites out of the series, it does rank highly with me as this was, quite literally, everything that was being played on the radio that I was lapping up! Rive Droite Music Ltd. Produced and mixed for Metro Rive Droite Music Productions. ℗ 1998 Warner Music UK Ltd. Licensed courtesy of Warner Music UK Ltd. Got this one for my 13th birthday, which is september, so I think this would have been released around about August 1997.

I am not sure if this is an official album in the series but I am going to assume it is. The label is Virgin as with the rest of the series and it is compiled by Ashley Abram much like the others. I used to rate this one a lot higher, as it was one of the better more recent albums in the series. However, listening to The Best Club Anthems 2002/Summer have really affected my perspective of this, because while a lot of it is great, there are still some questionable choices. I think I must have a serious soft spot for 1995 dance as my favourite 'dance zone' album is also from 1995 (Level 5).Blue Mountain. ℗ 1979 Cleopatra Label Group, licensed from Hypnotic Records/ Cleopatra Label Group. Licensed from edel (UK) Entertainment. ICM/Hanseatic. ℗ 1999 Mercury Records Ltd. (London), licensed from Subversive Records Ltd./ Sony Music Entertainment (Germany) GmbH. Licensed from Universal Music Licensing Division. Skint Music Publishing/Frankly Music. ℗ 1999 Multiply Records. Features the sample "Does It Feel Good" performed by B.T. Express courtesy of Roadshow Music Corporation and written by W. Hall (Jnr) courtesy of Frankly Music.
