Surprised to see Pet Shop Boys. But great.
Now That's What I Call Music (Nostalgia)
- Thread starter P Grandson
- Start date
Times two - but my fave of theirs from 1988 isn't featured: "Domino Dancing"!
We get "Somewhere in my heart", "Oh Patti" and "Mary's Prayer" but no "The King of Rock 'N' Roll"!?!
"You have place a chill in my heart" followed by "Heart"!
Love is Stronger Than Pride followed by Fragile.
This is giving old NOW track listings. I love how well these are sequenced
Yes, the sequencing has become a lot better in the last year or so of NOW releases. You can actually listen to them in the order they're on the discs and it works.
No Erasure - baffling...
I believe Erasure and Depeche Mode (and up until this Pet Shop Boys) have a 'no 1980s compilations' rule for licensing - hence why the numbered Nows have got through but not the yearbooks or any other '80s comp, as they don't want to be defined as '80s acts. I wonder if PSB have actually made an exception for the Yearbooks, I could imagine them seeing them and not liking their singles being missed out.
Yeah this is what I found confusing about the Pet Shop Boys absence, they’ve always loved their singles back catalogue being represented on a Now albums so nothing on the 1986 Yearbook was concerning, it’s good to see them on 1988 and hopefully Final Chapter 85-89 and the Extra will mop up West End Girls, Suburbia, I’m wondering if they went with 1992 as the first 90s album because it’s the one year absent of Pet Shop Boys and Now we’re holding out on a deal with them?
On another note, I see HMV are doing a £10 off deal when you buy the vinyl edition of 00-01 and 02-03 together… I’m guessing these aren’t selling? I’ve seen 00-01 stock at every HMV I’ve been too.
Also it’s a shame they’ve ditched the Extra edition for these because there’s definitely room for it.
The 2022 version of Now That's What I Call Christmas is being reissued on October 27th.
Videotheque!
New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)!
Some unexpected good choices on Disc Four (still not enough to actually buy it of course given how generic the rest of it is). I do wonder who actually buys these things.

Party people, friday night.
I'll stay at home, thanks.
Seeing Ghostbusters on there, I only noticed the line 'Bustin makes me feel real good'. Mike Read didn't try to ban that filth did he?!
