The 2012 version was way better the 2022 version

I agree. I feel like they hand picked the songs they wanted instead of just putting a bunch of songs that were available at the time on 5 discs.

Could you show some more respect for members please. You don't own anyone here and gooddelta was only trying to help with some design ideas. You could learn to make some yourself with the same software or other software if you decide to do so. No need to make spiteful remarks like this please.

 

Okay.

That 2012 No.1s album was definitely stronger than the recent editions, due to fewer licensing restrictions and bigger songs/artists.

 

Disc 1 is wall to wall legendary songs in particular.

 

Not sure what the delay with 1993 Extra is. Not bothered for Now That's What I Call Sing-a-Long if they announce that, unless it has at least 25% of songs never before featured on a Now (as if).

The wait is over! NOW Yearbook '93 - Extra arrived August 9th!

My immediate reactions:

Dannii made it! :wub: :w00t:
Michelle Visage now has two appearances on the Yearbooks (Previously on 90 - Extra with her band Seduction).
Whilst R.E.M. are here "Everybody Hurts" hasn't been included, instead it's "Nightswimming"
There's a few re-release remixes, including 'Fade to Grey' (previously on Yearbook '80), We Are Family (previously on Yearbook '79), and Copacabana (previously on Yearbook 78).
"No Limit" is a no-go? Perhaps the UK Edit wasn't available and so they just skipped it all together.
Shocking that "Babe" by Take That, and "Don't Walk Away" by Jade were saved for the Extra edition, they seem like quite big hits imo.

What is everyone thinking?
I was expecting Queen & George Michael to be on there and I’m glad that Feels Like Heaven, U Got 2 Know and Pressure Us are on there. Last compilation I remember Pressure Us being on was Now 24. With James, I’m surprised they included Sometimes and not Laid considering the latter seems the bigger tune. I’m also surprised that Del Amitri are on there seeing as Nothing Ever Happens and Always The Last To Know missed the 1990 and 1992 yearbooks. Bit disappointed that there’s no reggae on there

Disappointing but I didn't have high expectations. The year book seriee has descended into a cash in rather than any musical document of the year in question.

I guess Babe is just because Take That already had the two bigger number ones on the main edition.

 

Jade definitely deserved a spot on the main album,but apart from that there’s nothing else on here that looks like a weird miss from the main album. I guess they just had a lot of licensing issues with ‘93 sadly.

 

Quite odd that they couldn’t get the biggest hits from REM and Suede when other material from them was licensed.

 

I expect they’ve done the best they can with the material they had available, looking at what’s here compared to the main album Quite a lot of classics missing and that’s felt most sharply with the lack of No Limit and Mr Vain.

 

On the plus side, it’s a more worthwhile purchase in terms of songs new to my collection, as there are many.

Still no Snow or House Of Pain. They should save the non top 40 songs for their vault editions. With Barry Manilow, they could be bothered to re-use Copacabana from the 1978 yearbook but they couldn’t be bothered to use Mandy for any of the 1974 yearbooks

Still annoyed that Informer isn't on any of the 1993 CDs, maybe due to licensing, same with Jump Around.

Never before realised that Michelle Visage sings on that Lovely Day cover that's on the Extra. I suppose she wasn't credited separately back then.
If they keep releasing the yearbooks in certain patterns, that means the next yearbook should be due 30th August with its extra equivalent on 11th October then 1st November for the next yearbook with its extra equivalent released in January next year as they seem to release the extra edition in January instead of December

Edited by Hadji

Going to guess 1977 and 1989 for the next two.

I hope 80s comes next as we haven’t had an 80s yearbook. I hope it goes 1987 and 1975 or vice versa

The Buzzjack Review by awardinary: NOW 12


Not my favourite, especially after how amazing NOW 11 was. But still has some great songs on it.
Going to guess 1977 and 1989 for the next two.

 

It should be either 87 and 89 as we are due an 80s Yearbook, then 70s and back to 90s.

I think we might get 75 as the next 70s one as that will be coming up to 50 years.
