NOW That's What I Call Music

C.K Dexter Haven · 07-12-2014 01:17AM #1

I remember the first one when it came out- it had Paul Young, Phil Collins and UB40.
Back then it was called "Now that's what I call..." and changed to "Now" series over time.

I see "Now 89" is available (now):o

I can understand back in the day purchasing such a combo album but today?

Anyway, what's your favourite Now series album?

Some people have created all the Nows as playlists on Spotify.

Back then it was called "Now"- it emerged into the "Now that's what I call.." series

It was "Now That's What I Call Music..." from the start...

You're correct. On both fronts:pac:

Except. It stopped being called "Now that's why I call...." and morphed into the "Now" series at some stage

vicwatson · 07-12-2014 01:29AM

1981? You're old dude!

18 has got the likes of Roxette, The Beautiful South, Steve Miller, Elton John and Wilson Philips and Belinda Carlisle on it. It's the sh1t man.

I remember the early ones in our house in the 1980s. Think the first one came out in 1983. They would have about 6 songs on each side of 2 tapes. I used to love the inner sleeves. Loved the cover of now 2 and 3 - an image of a pig and a serious looking nik kershaw stand out in my mind with those covers. I was a young sprog at the time.

1984 - probably the best year for music. I was recently listening on youtube to the uk top 20 from each year going back. I think 90% of the tunes from 84 were epic.

You ever notice how music has stagnated in the last twenty years, you had rock n roll and glam and punk and electro rap, now they just rehash the same stuff we had and think they're the bees knees. Heard a couple of young wans earlier listening to Urban Cookie Collective like it was the opening night of Beethoven's 7th.

The Smiths were in their prime, as was Eurythmics- also Van Halen Jump, Prince When Doves Cry, Springsteen Dancing in the Dark etc

I almost have the complete collection. 1-8 weren't released on double CD. I have 9-89 with only one or two missing, which I'll get soon.

1-8 I have on vinyl! I will complete it!

Tail Docker · 07-12-2014 02:22AM

Four great songs, 18 shyte ones... It's a formula...reel em in...

Turpentine · 07-12-2014 02:26AM

They should re-release the old ones as "Then: That's What I call Nostalgia".

Free glow-stick encrusted leg-warmers to the first one hundred buyers.

I only ever really enjoyed WOM - verld ohf musik

Candy_Girl · 07-12-2014 04:22AM

I'm not sure which Now this was from but I must have liked it as it's left a memory. I got a tape recorder of Santa and decided to recorded myself singing this song only to have my Mam & Dad play it back to their party of drunk friends
