NOW Thats What I Call Music! 9

Product Information

It’s the most forgotten song here [totally undeserved] and could have appeared in any number of US television shows – Remington Steele, Moonlighting, Sledgehammer, Wiseguy etc. It’s well sequenced with Katherine Quaye [in Taffy guise] and her Italo beats of I Love My Radio (Midnight Radio).

Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). Like the previous volume, it was given a single CD release which featured a selection of tracks available on the full vinyl/cassette release. However this method contains some madness as three of the seven number ones are not on board [Caravan Of Love, Jack Your Body and The Final Countdown]. Now 10 was the first double CD in a "Fat Box" - perhaps they will continue to re-issue the "Fat Box" releases in the slim cases? The selection is very ‘1987’ and it includes some brilliant pop songs like Simply Red‘s ‘The Right Thing’, Curiosity Killed The Cat‘s ‘Down to Earth’, Erasure‘s ‘Sometimes’, Robbie Nevil‘s ‘C’est La Vie’, Mental As Anything‘s ‘Live It Up’, The Blow Monkeys‘ ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’, a-ha‘s ‘Manhattan Skyline’, the Pretenders‘ ‘Hymn to Her’ and Berlin‘s ‘Take My Breath Away’, to name but a few.A Video Selection was also released featuring selected tracks from the main album release, and one which didn't appear on any NOW album.

A video selection was also released featuring selected tracks from the main album and some which did not appear on any Now album. It’s a bit dull, but there’s something I quite like about it, maybe just ’cause it’s been featured on so many ’80s compilations I’ve heard. I hear this one regularly every Christmas period due to its status as the 1986 UK Christmas number one.

Deleting this artist may remove other artists and scrobbles from your library - please handle this with caution! To the end: two randomers from the final quarter get their day on the shiny disc – Genesis and The Pretenders. Ben E King‘s ‘Stand By Me’ and and Jackie Wilson‘s ‘Reet Petite’ reminds us of the British public’s penchant for putting old songs at the top of the charts ( Boris Gardener‘s ‘I Want To Wake Up With You’ was on Now 8) and the power of TV/advertising. No direct Hits competition meant that the labels behind A-ha (Warners) and Simply Red (WEA) – both part of same group – were happy to licence them out and make some money.One of my favourite Housemartins tracks – lovely a cappella cover of an Isley Brothers song from the previous year. Originally issued in March 1987, the 30-track various artists collection knocked U2‘s mighty The Joshua Tree from the top spot of the UK albums chart and spent five weeks at number one. Erasure moved into second gear and The Circus era with Sometimes while Robbie Nevil’s C’est La Vie remains a soulful jam that caught the January ’87 wave of optimism. Would it maybe be the case that the team behind “Hits” had first dibs on these tracks but the labels involved were happy to licence tracks to EMI/Virgin for inclusion on “Now” as long as there was no Hits albums around at the same time?

If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.The only thing that’s utter “tosh” there is that you claim Living On My Own to be merely mediocre and The Great Pretender to be tosh as if it’s fact. The first of a mini dance sequence gets underway with the Gap Band’s funky Big Fun and yet another quality single from Five Star – the edgy Stay Out Of My Life. King’s tear-jerking soul that was the title track played over the credits as I contemplated the wise words about one’s companions in childhood adventure.
