Do you remember your first Now?

The Backwards Man · 19-07-2018 11:24PM #1

In celebration of Now 100 being released in less than an hour, can you remember your first one?

Mine was Now 8, I was nine I think, it had some great tracks and quite a few horrid ones on it, probably still in the attic somewhere, don't think I have a tape player to play it on now though.

When was your first?

colm_mcm · 19-07-2018 11:25PM

Now 1993, one of the first albums I bought. I always know 1993 music when I hear it!

Baron Kurtz · 19-07-2018 11:26PM

Are you 101?

verycool · 19-07-2018 11:26PM

They're still going!?!

Wouldn't remember the first one if it bit me on the ar*e, but would remember the LP cover.

Did I mention I'm old?

Kevin Finnerty · 19-07-2018 11:27PM

The sister had Now 88, Santa brought It. It got the pencil treatment pretty quickly though cos the Amstrad "Music System" just loved chewing tapes.

padd b1975 · 19-07-2018 11:28PM

One of the very first ones, I think it had a pig on the cover.

lukesmom · 19-07-2018 11:28PM

Whatever one had starship we built this city on it.

19-07-2018 11:30PM

Now 1994. It was the first CD I ever owned. Also the last Now album I ever owned.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 19-07-2018 11:31PM

Remember the first one - my sister had it - Karma Chameleon was on it.

umop episdn · 19-07-2018 11:32PM

Now that's what I call music 4..."can you pig-it"!

mzungu · 19-07-2018 11:33PM

Probably Now 11.

dumb_parade · 19-07-2018 11:34PM

Now 16 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That%27s_What_I_Call_Music_16_(UK_series)

A2LUE42 · 19-07-2018 11:35PM

Now that's what I call music. The first one. On Vinyl, Double LP. Still have it.

TheQuietFella · 19-07-2018 11:36PM

NOW 1 on vinyl! I wonder if it's worth anything?

Cee-Jay-Cee · 19-07-2018 11:38PM

Bought the very first one ‘Now that’s what I call
Music’ It was a gate fold album, I still have it. Don’t think I bought another one after that.

Chaos Tourist · 19-07-2018 11:39PM

A pirated copy of Now 45 if that counts. A chap would bring in a case load of CDs into the canteen of a certain health care center and someone told me about it one day. It was a bit bold but I was only a young lad at the time.

flazio · 19-07-2018 11:39PM

Just been on their website to check, it was Now 40.

ceadaoin. · 19-07-2018 11:45PM

The first one I remember getting was one with boom shake the room by dj jazzy Jeff and the fresh prince on it. Just checked there and it was 26. Also has what is love and Mr vain on there. Classics!

Now Phats What I Small Music

blanch152 · 20-07-2018 12:04AM

It is hard for people of today to understand but before Now, we had Top of the Pops

http://topofthepopslps.weebly.com/about-the-albums.html

These were horrendous covers of the originals put into compilations. So what NOW did was to create compilations that included the original singers.

Sounds like the music they play in super valu and the like. Weird cover versions of recent songs

Where the hell does that music come from? I have long joked that they record it in karaoke bars but no one has ever yet been able to tell me who makes that sh*te.

The day I hear a Manics cover in the supermarket will be my saddest day.

beertons · 20-07-2018 12:16AM

Now 10. Real music, both tapes.

Autosport · 20-07-2018 12:38AM

Now 25 was the first one I bought on cassette

OU812 · 20-07-2018 12:44AM

They should have released a 100 track album & picked the biggest hit from each predecessor & one new one.

Pinch Flat · 20-07-2018 01:05AM

Ah jaysus remember no. 1

http://www.nowmusic.com/album/now-thats-what-i-call-music/

Born in 1971. So an old fart.

Edgarfrndly · 20-07-2018 01:08AM

Now 24. I remember having it on tape.

Star Bingo · 20-07-2018 01:16AM

My first was 4. It was my last.

I’ve just seen the advert for this momentous release. Happy 100, a real milestone congratulations

Didnt mean for that emoticon in the header can I not edit that out? Or is it just a fitting coincidence

Outlaw Pete · 20-07-2018 03:58AM

Now 6.

Still think Body Rock was the best song on it, don't care what anyone says!

Try_harder · 20-07-2018 04:23AM

My sister had Now 4

I bought a few but now 42 sticks in my mind for some reason

Do you remember your first Now?
