Lots of stuff I'm happy to see, like Praise, Cathy Dennis, Kim Appleby and Take That, with Monty Python a fun last track novelty.

Ouch at the Dannii typo.

What are the main ommissions for 1991 then? Bryan Adams, Simpsons, Right Said Fred, 2 Unlimited and the absence of the Christmas No.1 with no These Are The Days Of Our Lives.

    Not sure if anybody would be interested in these but I’ve made fanmade versions of Now 10-19 with the familiar Now artwork, taken from the US editions, including notable omissions. Here is my version

    Here's my Now 16, the last of three 1989 editions and the last volume of the 80s. Due to the number of omissions included, quite a large number of tracks from the original Now 16 I have taken off. I w

    I think this is a good edition, hardly any top tens missing from the period. It’s a shame Golden isn’t there but it’s too huge still I suppose or Netflix just aren’t offering it for licensing at all.

No Diana Ross or Salt-N-Pepa either. Only thing that spoils the album is David Sylvian’s presence

I could make a David Sylvian Greatest Flops album with all the songs he inexplicably has on the Yearbooks.

Surely somebody must proof the tracklist and say 'Rain Tree Crow, who put that on here? Oh it's Sylvian again, can you please stop'.

They've left an "N" out of Dannii,   first NOW appearance for Banderas since NOW 19, and the first
NOW appearance for Take That's first Top 40 Promises.  
Some other tracks previously on The Hits Album (Hits 15) like Remember Me With Love and I'm A Man Not A Boy.

They didn’t give us Word Of Mouth for any of the 1991 yearbooks even though they gave us The Living Years for 1989. Seeing as they love to put songs on there that belong on the vault, they should’ve given us Do What U Like for extra and have Promises on main instead

No Enigma either, or even maybe just a sniff of Iron Maiden's 'Bring Your Daughter...'.

Also yes, the inclusion of anything David Sylvian is absolutely baffling. The 90's Yearbooks so far to me, feel weak comparatively to the 70's and 80's Yearbooks. It saddens me because the 90's is my favourite decade and NOW just struggles with licensing issues for this decade.

Heck, Moby's 'Go' on Yearbook 1991 was some kind of 2006 remix which sounded nothing like the original. That threw me off an otherwise amazing disc.

It's a nice compilation, one of the better ones from Now. I bought the CD when it came out and my friend recently gave me the vinyl as an early Christmas present.

It’s a shame they ignored Xpansions and Alison Limerick from both 1991 yearbooks when both were on the such a good feeling eras and the latter is also unavoidable thanks to John Lewis

I would also think they should have done one disc with rave hits only. It is really underrepresented.

Just received NOW 122 and think it is quite good except the last 5 songs on disc 2. Sombr really missing. Would have also tried to include Zombie from Yungblud.

Also received 60-62 - a good addition for me as I had only about 6 songs from it before.

Not sure if anyone would be interested in this but I made my own version of Now 63 as I was never happy with the tracklisting on the original. I have also done my own Now 59 too.tkjfsrxs.pngpage01.jpg

Would really like to see your NOW 59 tracklisting.

Looking forward to Vault 82 and hope it's happening. Also hope for 85-89 soon.

As much as I’m excited for vault 1982, I was expecting 12" 1986 part 1 to be this weeks announcement. Saying that, I reckon there could be a double announcement on Thursday with one of them being released 16th January and the other being released 23rd January. They’ll need to do 1985-1989 and its extra in order to further proceed with the vault after 1982

I know the “2” looks a bit off but here’s my attempt of Now 123’s artwork😁IMG_1947.png

And they’ll more likely release it on 10th April. For the spring Nows, they should set their release dates for last Friday in March rather than first Friday in April as they’d release it the second Friday in April if first Friday is Easter weekend like they did in 2023

I’ve noticed 9 times out of 10 since 2015, the Now’s have the exact same release date as the Now exactly 20 years before. I’m guessing Now 123 will either be 3rd April 2026 or like 10th April 2026, exactly 20 years after Now 63.
