Now That's What I Call Music (Nostalgia)

My order hasn’t even shipped.

I attempted to order again but canceled the second order after I noticed the first one’s progress bar actually moved when I attempted to cancel. Let’s see what happens but Amazon UK is truly awful now.

To my ears it sounds like the single mix of Then Jerico's Motive is also on this 1987 Extra set. Might need someone who knows more about Then Jerico to check it out though.
There are several versions/mixes (including some for the US) but if the actual 7" is included that's quite a coup. If I remember correctly, it's hardly ever been on CD if at all.
 
I imported the Yearbook Extra 1987 yesterday and it's so great to finally have the single mix of George Michael's I Want Your Sex and Glenn & Chris' Diamond Lights on CD for the first time! I'd never heard New Order's Touched by the Hand of God before, what a bop!

The run of tracks on CD1 of a-ha/T'Pau/Alison Moyet/Bananarama/Pepsi & Shirlie/Samantha Fox/Rick Astley/Mel & Kim features some of my all time favourite songs. 1987 was such a great year for music. This is one of my favourite Yearbooks yet.

and that great line...

"I never looked at you in a sexual way
In my life before"

For me - it's one of New Order's finest singles!
 
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but why is Now Yearbook '84 Extra so expensive/hard to come by??
It’s when the Yearbook concept was relatively new, Particularly the extra edition, they were pretty limited probably because they’re considered quite niche, but they’ve ended up being popular, so I think they press more now, I’m sure it’ll get a repress along with 80,81,82 and 83, they’ve been repressing everything else after all.

I think they were re-pressed, maybe last year? Around Xmas ?
Thanks both!
 
Made my way through Millennium 02-03 the last couple of days, and having Sugababes jump from Round Round (02) to Hole in the Head (03) and Kylie go from In Your Eyes to Slow really highlighted how quickly they were churning out those singles at the time, considering they're both a) from different 'eras' and b) had multiple hit singles in between.
 
I think the first half of disc 1 and the second half of disc 2 are pretty strong, but then everything that follows I'm unfamiliar with, this will be the first main NOW I'm choosing not to buy, it's just the Yearbooks for me now.
Have they finished with the main series reissues since no annoucement of Now 19? If so then good, the last few are a complete mess and missing too much.

NOW 19 is the only "early" NOW that I haven't got! If they don't do the reissue I'm going to have that annoying gap in my NOW collection for a long time as the fatbox version has gotten rather expensive.
 
Coming November 22nd
