Will be great to get all those radio edits (CD3) I'll probably buy the vinyl set too - as I have bought all PSB albums on vinyl to date. Think the black is cheaper than the white.

I think that was 2000. The 2005 Now Xmas was 3CD

I put 1,000 of my CDs in binders. The jewel cases were boxed up and put in the attic.

I missed that the time - went for this one, which was a big chunk of my summer job wages https://www.discogs.com/release/43501-Various-The-History-Of-The-House-Sound-Of-Chicago

Milk and Kisses is my favourite. Most of the time.

Any CD link for Pacific Breeze 3?

Does anyone know the significance of the Now Yearbook colours at bottom of spine - as per attached

Just played my limited edition CD3 and OMD track is fine

I think that I Am Not A Dog On A Chain was his best album since Maladjusted.

I wouldn't worry too much about the black / grey trays from Now 29 onwards. However Now 10 - 28 in a slim case would be a big no-no for me. They're meant to come in a fatbox with 1/ Front inlay 2/ Back inlay 3/ Booklet If they're in slim cases then it's highly likely that the front inlay is...

Discogs v Ebay Ebay has photos but Discogs has more accurate grading and sellers tend to package better - all IMHO.

I am very fond of Now 22 as it really sums up that summer well. Fond memories of putting on a few club nights, new girlfriend etc. CD2 looks like it ran out of steam but in its defence, there's a few long-ish tracks on it. In terms of the weaker ones from the 20s - Now 24 and Now 25 are quite...

If you take Now 44 as a cut-off point (last one of the 1990s and last one reviewed on my site), I think that Now 42 is the weakest of the entire run. I know some people think Now 40 has that dubious crown but that's redeemed by the greatest 1-2 punch ever of You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and...
