I remember sending mine back. The sound wasn't great at all on the bonus tracks. Some vinyl rips, I think it must have been. The original CD of the debut is perfect anyway.

Thanks a lot, Eric !

I actually found my email to Cherry Red....

"Very poor sound quality, especially on tracks 4, 6, 8 and 9. Distorted bass, sibilance on vocals, drop outs on right channel during some tracks."

This is the Big Break Records issue?

Does anyone involved in reissues even bother to listen to them before they're released to check that they're OK? Drop outs in channels is a big deal.

Yes, the BBR deluxe in a super jewel case.

A new Now release appeared briefly on Amazon yesterday (3 formats, so I presumed most likely a new Yearbook), scheduled for 28 April.

However the links disappeared almost immediately. Now today in my browser history I have a front cover showing for Now Yearbook 1978 with a somewhat garish pink cover. Links not working, but details obviously coming very soon.

Now That's what I call Massive Hits & #1 - Out Apr 21.
Yes, it's that time of the year, the uber generic Now compilation

YourLeadSinger · Mar 22, 2023

Sad Frankie’s “Welcome To The Pleasuredome” was ineligible for this as it only went to #2. That single version is so damn rare.

What an odd compilation of songs. Can't work out any potential demographic for this one!!!

Oop, my eyes only read “#1s”. So they have no excuse! NOW! That’s what I call

Yeah it's weird. If they tried to put all the genuinely biggest songs of all eras on one compilation I'd buy it, but this just too random.

Eric Generic · Mar 22, 2023

Still not here for 70s NOW Yearbooks, so more money saved. Likewise the absolute clusterfuck that's the final Marillion EMI Years super deluxe. Was really looking forward to that, but revisionism ahoy unfortunately.

I was gonna wait for the reviews to say which version of Kate’s “Man With The Child In His Eyes” is but “I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper” is on so I might have to purchase.

It’s expensive though! I don’t think I’ve paid over £12 pre shipping for one of these.

OceanBlue · Mar 23, 2023

The 2010 reissue included My arms keep missing you (and remixes) and Rick Hit Mix, not included here, but the new reissue includes 2 re-imagined tracks, from a 2019 album... Don't know what to do.
