"Club Fantastic Megamix" is a medley single released by English pop duo Wham! on 25 November 1983, and was the last single release for the duo on Innervision Records, it peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.
Background
The song was mixed by DMC's Alan Couthard and was approved by Mark Dean, the manager of Innervision Records. The single was released three months after the duo had begun proceedings to leave the label, and was disapproved of by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. The single consisted of a mix of the tracks "A Ray of Sunshine", "Love Machine" and "Come On" from the album Fantastic. The only reason why the the song was able to be released was because the songs had already been released. Before a song being released, a publisher has the right to grant the first license of a tune of which he holds the copyright. Because those three songs had already been released to the public, the songwriter was unable to prevent the record company from creating this second release.
