White Heat: 30 Hits is a two-disc compilation album by Australian rock band Icehouse, released on 26 August 2011 in Australia. While it is technically their third best-of compilation, following 1989's Great Southern Land and 1992's Masterfile (not counting a singles box set released in the mid-1990s that was not widely distributed), it is the first such compilation spanning the band's entire career, including both their early- to mid-1980s hits and material from their most commercially successful period, beginning with the studio album Man of Colours (1987).

Contents

The album presents the band's complete singles catalogue, all in chronological order, with 15 tracks on each disc. There is also a 3-disc edition which includes a DVD featuring all 32 of the band's music videos, also in chronological order. The DVD contains a 5.1 mix in Dolby Digital AC-3.

The album's cover art was designed by Sydney design studio Debaser, and features the laser cage in which Iva Davies performed during the band's time as Flowers. This can be seen in the "Flowers Folio" section of the band's website. [1] The tracks were remastered by Steve Smart at Studios 301 Mastering.
