Now That's What I Call Music (Nostalgia)

Just to let you all know NOW 1980 Extra Cliff Richard Carrie is not the 1980 hit version but a re-recording.

 

It would have been cute if they included a couple of songs from each 83 and 84 Extra volume.

 

Is the original single version of Carrie on the Private Collection from 1988?

 

I don't think so. Unless the single version was re-recorded. I think (from memory) the Carrie on that compilation is from 1982 or later.

 

There's scope for an Extra Plus 2CD addendum to the 1980 Yearbook & Extra releases. Here's what you could have won.....

 

Must be the version from this compilation in 1992.

What fresh hell is this artwork?

 

Channel 5 temp caught working overtime on the sly.

 

NOW Music are excited to present our next release – NOW That’s What I Call 90s: Dancefloor – Out October 14th!

A 4CD, 84 track compilation of some of the most iconic, enduring and uplifting 90s Dance tracks. Packed full of club hits and chart smashes, this is THE perfect feel-good playlist.

Beginning with ‘Too Funky’ from George Michael, followed by the huge 7-weeks at #1 ‘Believe’ from Cher, before launching into favourites from Deee-Lite (‘Groove Is In The Heart’), Saint Etienne (‘He’s On The Phone’) and ‘Step Back In Time’ from Kylie Minogue. Massive floor-fillers follow from Lonnie Gordon, Sister Sledge, and CeCe Peniston, and Dance-Pop hits from West End feat. Sybil, Whitney Houston and Kim Appleby. R&B/Hip-Hop/Dance crossover classics from Bobby Brown, Charles & Eddie, Mark Morrison and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince with ‘Boom! Shake the Room’ close the first disc.

CD2 kicks off with the #1 smash ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer’ from Snap! and is followed with more Pop-Trance tracks from Corona with ‘The Rhythm Of The Night’ and Sash! With ‘Encore Une Fois’, the huge #1 from The Tamperer Feat. Maya with ‘Feel It’, alongside the Disco-Funk of ‘The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)’ from Kenny “Dope” Presents The Bucketheads. More feel-good anthems including ‘Push The Feeling On’ and ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ are included, as are ‘Another Night’ from German Eurodance act Real McCoy, and Ibiza classic ‘9pm (Till I Come)’ from ATB. Samba infused Latin-Pop tracks from Bellini and Ricky Martin complete this disc.

CD3 begins with a string of massive hits from Dr. Alban (‘It’s My Life’), Haddaway with ‘What Is Love’, Tony Di Bart (‘The Real Thing’) and ‘I Luv U Baby’ from The Original. Another #1 from Snap! with ‘The Power’ appears, as does the huge 1992 cover ‘Please Don’t Go’ by K.W.S. Timeless dancefloor classic ‘Rhythm Is A Mystery’ from K-Klass features alongside powerful vocals from Rozalla and M People plus Robin S. with the highly celebrated and much sampled ‘Show Me Love’, before finishing with ‘Free’ from Ultra Naté.

There’s no slowing down on CD4 – beginning with ‘Firestarter’ from The Prodigy, ‘Born Slippy (Nuxx)’ from Underworld and The Chemical Brothers with ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’. Huge club crossover hits from Fatboy Slim (‘Right Here Right Now’) and Faithless (‘Insomnia’), follow with iconic Trance pop classic ‘Children’ from Robert Miles. ‘Remember Me’ from Blue Boy leads into a chilled run to close including ‘Sweet Harmony’ from The Beloved, Beats International with the 1990 #1 ‘Dub Be Good To Me’, The Family Stand and Bassomatic, before finishing with early Trip-Hop and gorgeous vocals on ‘Winter In July’ from Bomb The Bass.

Nice to see the 90s getting a little notice from the NOW team. It's not a bad track listing as well.

 

Nice to see the 90s get some love from NOW. Looks a good set with a few lesser compiled songs like Cathy Dennis' Everybody Move and Captain Hollywood Project's More and More plus not available on streaming remixes like Sister Sledge's Lost In Music (Sure Is Pure Remix Edit) and Heaven 17's Temptation (Brothers In Rhythm Remix Edit). Of course I've just bought the latter two CD singles off Discogs in the last few months!

 

Not a bad collection. I like how each disc has a different "feel".

 

Strong track listing. Plenty of early 90s classics. Shame there’s no Alison Limerick.

 

Where loves lives isn't on a NOW 90's Dancefloor!

 

I mean I’ve got all these already but I’ll still probably buy it.

 

1979 Yearbook Extra due on 21 October

Life In Tokyo already appeared on 1982 Extra (the Steve Nye mix which was a hit)
I presume the original version will be on 1979 Extra but really, there's no need.

 

Now Yearbook Extras are being repressed - available from the Now site. Should stop the scalpers.

 

It's here November 4th Now 1985 Yearbook.

 

Hurrah! So glad they have gone back to the 80s. Not much unusual here but the Yearbook Extra should be interesting.

 

1985 is an underrated year, I think. I preferred 1983 and 1984 at the time (and even 1987), but these days I'd maybe choose 1985.

 

I know to expect omissions on these, but no Wham! is a bit odd - was expecting at least I'm Your Man, if not Everything She Wants (Remix) as well, as they were on the earlier years.
