If they release Now 124 on 31st and it gets blocked by Spider-Man, it’s their own fault when they could release it on 24th and get a week at the top of the compilation chart before Spider-Man comes along

What's wrong with that?

Do you really think after all these years they care about being top of the compilations chart? When did they last, or ever, make a point about getting their products to #1? There's no master plan to release compilations on a week to avoid competition from other soundtracks, it's not even on their mind when they schedule releases.

Because they’ve already had two consecutive volumes (121 and 122) missing the top of the compilation chart. Now 70s is the last pointless spin-off of theirs that topped the compilation chart

Nah. They just fiddle with the release dates instead like they did with extra 1972. Shame they didn’t fiddle with the release date of Now ultimate party last year instead of deliberately clashing it with Now 122. With me in charge, spring Nows will stick to a week before Easter, summer Nows penultimate Friday in July and autumn Nows the second Friday in November and they definitely will not be clashing with any pointless spin-offs either

Well, at least Yearbook 1999 is still being released tomorrow.

I’d rather they announced Now 124. They didn’t announce anything last week. I remember when they released 12" 1986 part 2 on the day that they should’ve been releasing Now 123

Apparently, HMV have been having problems with the standard and deluxe versions of the 1999 yearbook. Went there to buy it and they couldn’t sell them because they weren’t scanning

I normally use the NOW website for my yearbooks , so I can get the numbered print, so not a problem for me.

I ordered the delxue CD and vinyl from Amazon, should come later this evening. Not too bothered about the vinyl usually but 1999 was one of my favourite years.

Got Cascada's Everytime We Touch album vinyl at the same time

Done the same this week

My Yearbook 99 is coming today, can't wait to play it when I get home from work

I’ve ordered my 1999 yearbook from Amazon because HMV are taking the piss. I also have a feeling that on Thursday, they’re gonna announce extra 1999 instead of Now 124

Not a fan of the numbered prints, no?

I don’t mind them but I’d rather guarantee mine by tomorrow and you have to pay extra for p&p on the Now site

Oh. Well, for me, I look up to them as a bonus collective. Perhaps, in the near future, I could get mine framed?

It was an extra £5 for p&p which means it’s £21 in total meaning that you’d be paying £2 for the print so I thought I’d go Amazon for £19 in total without the print than £21 in total with the print

I always order bang on midnight of release day from Amazon, and 90% of the time they will deliver between 5pm and 10pm on the Friday, even if beforehand they have shown a later delivery date.

I did that last night and it's coming later today.

I would prefer to use HMV but I can't get there on a Friday, and I find their online service very patchy. When I've ordered with them I either get stuff a day early or several days late. I know it's down to Royal Mail and isn't necessarily their fault when it's late though.

I would highly recommend Rarewaves. I’ve been paying £14.32 for the Collectors Edition (the one with the booklet) which has free delivery for orders over £10. Plus you gain points to use toward future orders as well. They haven’t let me down!

Mine didn't today, unfortunately. Maybe due to heavy traffic... 😔
