I was expecting Yearbook Extra 1972, but oh well...

Not to anybody's expectations? No?

No, not mine. Nothing unique on there at all, just another pointless spinoff...

Yeah, for once I'm actually gonna have to pass on this one.

Yeah, the NOW compilations aren't my taste nowadays.

I've been collecting NOW albums since 2012, and I've never been this disappointed with a tracklist like this.

Boring. The vast majority, if not all the tracks are on the Yearbooks.

Where’s my Yearbook ‘72 Extra?

You took the words right out of my mouth! Also, I love how you quoted Frozone.

I also made this just a few minutes before today's announcement:

Pass, what on earth is the point.

Enough with the 80s unless the track selections are offering something unique, I beg them.

No need to buy this if you have all the 80s yearbooks seeing as every song on there is on a yearbook. Should’ve announced extra 1972 instead of this pointless crap. They seem to be leaving the yearbooks late this year. June last year, we were on the 3rd yearbook whereas June this year, we’re on the extra edition of the 2nd yearbook. Hopefully, there’s no room in July for pointless spin-offs seeing as that’s when we’re due the 3rd yearbook, 12" 1987 part 1 and Now 124

I've a feeling you're gonna leave a one star review when it comes up on iTunes, are you? So am I.

Hopefully they announce extra 1972 next week and Glory Days is the only song on that album that’s not on a yearbook. No Frankie Goes To Hollywood which is unusual. I wouldn’t mind if they’ve decided to stop licensing their tracks if it means Relax will stop appearing and George Michael’s label need to get over their track 1 obsession

The way the yearbooks are being released, that means it’s gonna go

Extra 1972 19th June

90s yearbook 10th July

Extra 21st August

70s yearbook 11th September

Extra 23rd October

90s yearbook 13th November

When we usually get the 5th yearbook last Friday in October or first Friday in November

In the famous words of Gemma Collins...

"BORING, NEXT".

I hope Demon Hunters can block this from the top of the compilation chart like they blocked Now 70s Soul from the top

I like it i don't usually go for the NOW Summer albums but that looks ok, like the cover and the colour scheme too.

Few of those you definately would expect to be on a NOW 80s Summer album even though some weren't summer hits.

Surprised Life Is Life by Opus isn't on there as it was on the original NOW Summer album. But not a bad tracklist.

Beach Boys Kokomo although not a summer hit does sound like a summer track.

Glad they went with Circle In The Sand for Belinda Carl;isle. Yeah they've mostly been on comps before but the album

itself is just nice and i like the look of it. Great track selection.

No Pet Shop Boys on the album. They should’ve included Domino Dancing as it’s the most summery 80s song of theirs. No Sun Goes Down by Level 42 either
