I’m not jealous. They only have the single CD versions of 8 and 9. I’ll complete it properly in July 2021

Class collection!

I’m now on 1-6, 22 and 24-106 on CD. Will be getting 7 and 107 shortly.

I’m on 1-7 CD, 8&9 LP, 10-107 CD

Now you’re making me wish I had continued my collection past volume 100, though I have been buying the reissued earlier volumes on CD since then.

The mix of Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money) used on Now 7 is not good. Quite a few incorrect versions used actually.

 

At least Queen didn't insist on being Disc 1, Track 1! I read that they apparently do actually have a clause that on all new compilations they feature on they must have that spot on the album or they won't license their track to it!

I have 35, 49, 59 - 77 + 79 - 106 on CD, not sure why I never got 78 :lol: on vinyl so far I have Now 1 - Now 18 and hope to get all 35 eventually!

The version of Opportunities which appears on the CD is terrible. Also, they put the short version of When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going instead of the long version and they put the album version of I Can’t Wait instead of the single version. I still can’t believe that you can’t buy NOW 7 on digital download ie. iTunes, amazon or play store etc

Very funny.

Picked up my Now 7 today in Asda for £8. Nice to see Queen not as first track.

They weren’t the first track on NOW 4 either. The only thing I don’t like is some of the mixes aren’t the same. I still can’t believe NOW 7 ain’t on iTunes

Not a 100 Hits, I wonder if that’s the end of that series?

I hope not. They did a summer spin-off last year which wasn’t a 100 Hits but they still carried on so I hope that’s still the case

A post of some nostalgia...

 

Unsure if these pages have been shared on BuzzJack before, but for the benefit of the younger audience (as well as those of us of a certain age), this is what the original forum for Now That’s What I Call Music!

It was a nice community until most regulars got randomly banned.

Shane Codd is on the compilation the Workout mix 2021 meaning it will most likely be on NOW 108
