No Bob Marley or Gary Glitter

NOW 3 is being re-released without Bob Marley and Gary Glitter. Don’t understand why they’ve removed Bob but Gary I can understand

Must be problems with the rights to Bob Marley. Has he been on anything Now related since Now 44?

He’s appeared on NOW Reggae and NOW Reggae Party. Looking on iTunes, One Love appeared on the 2017 compilation Ska Anthems

The LVNDSCAPE & Bolier remix of Is This Love was on Now 95, if that counts :D

I just hope that if they re-release NOW 4 on CD that they leave the tracklist as it is. I was expecting Queen to be moved to track 1

I forgot that remix existed. Looking back 'Sun Is Shining' has been featured on a couple of Nows (Reggae being one) so might be the cost of re-licensing 'One Love', which is one of his signature tracks, is too expensive to justify for an album that will probably only sell around 20k in total if the sales of Now 2 are anything to go by.

It’s a shame they have to change things but then it’s not a normal situation. I’ll be buying regardless.

I’d have preferred it if they replaced the two songs from NOW 3 with either songs which should’ve been on there but missed out or songs which only appeared on the video version of the album

As Señorita looks set to outpeak IICHY, it makes me wonder if we’ll get both of Shawn’s Songs on NOW 103 or if they’ll hold Señorita back for NOW 104

Also the Legend album's just been re-released on LP so they won't want sales detracted from that this summer.

As Señorita looks set to outpeak IICHY, it makes me wonder if we’ll get both of Shawn’s Songs on NOW 103 or if they’ll hold Señorita back for NOW 104

I’m thinking IICHY in the first 10 tracks on disc 1 and then Senorita possibly after Vossi Bop as track 2 on disc 2

They normally tend to put the artists current song before their previous song which means Señorita will more likely be higher up on the album than IICHY

I wonder if they’ll remove Michael Jackson if they re-issue NOW 4? If they do, they could replace it with Meat Loaf - Modern Girl which appears on the video version of NOW 4 as well as HITS 1

And according to amazon, NOW 103 will have 40 current songs plus 6 songs from NOW 3

I just hope “Against All Odds” isn’t one of the bonus tracks as we just had it on NOW 100

Let's hope they don't go anti-urban like they did with Now 102.

And I hope they include Ed on 103 too. It would 100% be on there if it was credited as Justin featuring Ed

They almost certainly will. If you look at the user comments for Now 101 and Now 99, it was the inclusion of so many urban songs that pissed a lot of casual buyers off. The more MOR approach of Now 102 is here to stay I reckon. Only huge urban songs, like Vossi Bop, will still make it (and even that's not a certainty).

 

I personally don't mind the whole bonus tracks inclusion thing. 40 songs is still enough modern songs to not feel short changed.
