If they wanna reuse Sting songs on vaults, I wouldn’t mind if Englishman In New York was included on vault 1988 as long as it’s the original version

I don’t have unlimited space, and one of those songs is included anyway🤷🏻‍♂️

These albums took a lot of effort to create, maybe just say maybe just one good thing about any of them before you criticise?

Welcome to Hadjiworld.

Anyway, you have done a great job and I wish these were real companion volumes!

Would be great if you could do the 80s and remaining 90s ones but I understand if you've run out of steam!

I’ve been posting in this forum for months and months now and never once seen a positive comment from the guy about absolutely anything, it was starting to grate on me! But that’s all I’ll say on the matter forever.

Thank you! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the upcoming ones too, I’m not sure how strong they’ll be but Now 60 seems to be going well so far.

I did some alternative versions of Now 10-19 where some tracks from the actual releases were on them. I’ll be making an index so people will be able to find them easier, I’m just working out how to do it.

Excuse me but it is not criticism. I have never said they were bad or terrible. All I said was that some tracks were missing. You proof check your tracklists which is good whereas the people who actually make the albums are lazy and can’t be bothered to proof check a tracklist before they finalise it. If anyone should be criticised, it’s Jenny Fisher

I’m getting my life to these Dance Editions! They remind me of a mix of the NOW Dance series, Ministry of Sound, Clubland, and Absolute Dance.

If you can, I’d love to see these go back further. I bet the 2010s and 2000s ones would be filled with classics.

I'm truly honored to hear that! And yes, I have plenty more up my sleeve that I plan to make, all the way down to 80! Though I'm not sure which tracks came out before the earlier ones, so I might need some help researching.

everyhit.com is how I find old tracks that were in the charts at specific times 👍

So Jenny Fisher is the one compiling these poor track listings on the recent numbered albums? If so, then why did they even hire her?

Well it must still be her as she’s been compiling albums since Now 82. It doesn’t say who’s compiling them so I’m assuming it’s still her

I think Jenny Fisher is long gone, and hasn't been in charge of Now tracklists for at least five years according to her Linkedin Google summary (I didn't go as far as to click on her profile though, sure she gets enough Now fans sending her suggestions).

12" 1986 part 2 is now on iTunes. I just hope they also add extra 1991 too

Regarding Vault: ‘85. Haven’t heard most the songs on there (which I’m glad about, means I have more music to discover!), gutted to hear about Sting’s double appearance between both this and the ‘85-‘89 Extra - that should have been checked.

However, happy to see Weird Science and Eddie Murphy’s ‘Party All The Time’ on there! Both great tunes!

Changing topic: I’m loving @nowmusic1993 and @Harrison FB ‘s playlists. I love a good alternate universe NOW album!

I’ve made dance mix playlists using Spotify’s DJ Mix feature, and used the extended dance versions of songs that featured on the numbered NOWs of the 90’s. Each year having its own playlist from 1990 to 1999. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in me sharing them here? I’d love some feedback, and was also curious about including tracks that have made the Yearbooks but not the numbered volumes too.

So far I’ve actively listened to 1990, 1999 and currently listening to 1998. I’ve been enjoying them, but I just know there are tweaks I can make to them.

But yeah, let me know if there’s interest and I’ll share them with you all. :)

Decided to give 123 a spin on streaming, though I don't quite understand why it's even on there when half the album is just the original version of a track rather than the edited/specific Now 123 version of the song. Anywho, Disc 1 is really solid and I thought for a period that it was going well and then Disc 2 started and good lord what an absolute slog it is to listen to. It wouldn't surprise me if this misses the #1 spot on Friday.

Might be an error but Amazon appears to confirm the Christmas NOW getting its biennial refresh on 30th October. The cover and tracklisting displayed is currently the previous edition from 2024.

The opportunity to include Kylie's XMAS is clearly too good to resist!

The Now Eurovision five record set is crazy low price on Amazon at the moment if anyone wants that btw, £26.99 today, it was £100 when released. I love this one, I dig it out every year around this time.

It’ll be changed if they decide to rehash it but this time for them not to release it at the same time as a yearbook

Yay another chance to own the exact same cd with 2 changes 🙌🙌🤣

All it will be is probably XMAS added
