In 1988, WEA/Warner rejected the fourth Associates album The Glamour Chase considering it not commercially viable (it was later released on a two-disc set with Perhaps). However, they decided to release MacKenzie's synthpop/techno-pop cover of "Heart of Glass" as a single and also put the track on the record company's Vaultage From The Electric Lighting Station compilation. This track was to be MacKenzie's last release whilst under contract to WEA in the United Kingdom, as he signed to AVL/Virgin subsidiary Circa Records (still under the Associates name at this point). "Heart of Glass" was released in September 1988 on a number of formats including a 12 inch single with an anaglyphic 3-D cover (which came with 3-D glasses) and a CD single. It reached number 56 on the UK Singles Chart and was put on Popera: The Singles Collection, by WEA in 1990 alongside withdrawn follow-up single "Country Boy", and a version of the MacKenzie/Boris Blank song, "The Rhythm Divine".
