Product Information

a vintage track when he recorded it in 1981, but he had a knack of recording old tracks and making them his own. Some of them have unique track listings and are not related to similarly themed collections already issued on compact disc, however, more recent releases have been 'selections' taken from a larger CD collection (Rock, for example). Most of the artists on this five CD compilation are still recording and a lot will still tour (when touring is allowed again). A triple-CD only release, Yearbook Extra: The Collectors Edition, is issued a few weeks later; these include lesser known tracks and more songs by big artists included on the main album and they are released only in standard gatefold wallet packaging.

Since the release of Now 102 in Easter 2019, the corresponding Now album from 100 volumes ago has been re-compiled and re-issued on 2-CD sets on the same day. was a vintage year for pop music as witnessed here with 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell and 'Don’t You Want Me' from The Human League. Grandma might be forgetting birthdays, but she'll never forget 'I'll Tumble 4 Ya' which I don't think was a single in England.

November 2023) 33 tracks with only Kate Bush and Lil Louis missing, although Lil Louis was just a bonus track on the original CD version and did not appear on the vinyl and magnetic cassette versions. Originally, the series captured extended 12" mixes of dance hits of the time, but from 1991 onwards, all Now Dance compilations featured 7" edits with only occasional extended versions or mixes included. Due to licensing issues, these re-compiled versions often use alternative mixes such as album versions. They are also notable as being the first time a Now series had released a compilation of hits from the years 1980 to 1982.

All series with the exception of United Kingdom and the United States have been discontinued, New Zealand had two more albums released as a playlist only on Spotify, South Africa had three more albums released as a playlist on Spotify under DJ Kurtis.
