Forgotten, or just not set to be released yet?

Every NOW extra yearbook gets released 6 weeks after the yearbook. It’s been a usual pattern. NOW Yearbook 1985 was released on 4th November which means NOW Yearbook Extra 1985 should be due for release on 16th December but it hasn’t yet. I don’t know if they’re gonna release it in January but I was expecting them to announce it by now. It’s not like them. I still don’t understand why NOW Yearbook 1985 got randomly removed from iTunes

They’ve almost certainly not forgotten then, it’ll just be released at a later date (if at all).

They maybe moved onto 1985 too quickly, when they realised there was still opportunity to be made from 1980-1984. I guess they're trying to wrap up these years now before going back to 1985 Extra.

Also, NOW Yearbook Extra 1980-1984 is a vinyl release and I guessed correct that LP 1 is 1980, LP 2 is 1981, LP 3 is 1982, LP 4 is 1983 and LP 5 is 1984

Shame if it has all different tracks and is vinyl only as that is quite a price tag!

It’s that price tag because it’s vinyl. It’s all songs from the yearbook or extra yearbook

Ah ok in that case I won’t need that.

Nice album but the price £107.99 is too steep so will have to give it a miss i'm afraid

Will be getting the one that's come out on Friday though, and whenever NOW 85 extra is finally announced

 

Ah ok in that case I won’t need that.

All I have to do is make my own file on my computer and copy and paste the songs and arrange them into the correct order and have it on mp3 instead

Will be getting the one that's come out on Friday though, and whenever NOW 85 extra is finally announced

Same here and as for NOW Yearbook Extra 1985, they might release it as the first spin-off of 2023 like NOW Electronic is the first spin-off of 2022

It’s that price tag because it’s vinyl. It’s all songs from the yearbook or extra yearbook

Are you quite certain that all the tracks on this vinyl only edition were on previous versions of the Yearbook and Yearbook Extra series from the last couple of years?

^ Is that not a lot of tracks to put on a vinyl though?

Are you quite certain that all the tracks on this vinyl only edition were on previous versions of the Yearbook and Yearbook Extra series from the last couple of years? I genuinely want to know so I can be sure I’m not losing out on this not being released on CD which is the format I’ve bought the previous volumes on.

Some of the songs might have appeared on the vinyl versions of the individual yearbooks

Maria Magdalena *.* I half expected Russ Abbott to be on here though. Shame they couldn’t get Running Up That Hill too.

 

Wham! seem to kick off a lot of these albums, do they have the same sort of licensing agreement as Queen have?

Do they butcher the songs to make them fit on these year book editions?

 

Sorry if that's a stupid question.
