Thank you! And I promise I’ll have all the playlists created by tomorrow morning for you.

Anyone notice that the colours for 12" 1986 part 1 are the same as Now 50?

Now 55

I've just logged in for the first time in awhile, and I must say... these are cracking mate! The sequencing, the parallel universe if NOW didn't have licensing issues... it's brilliant! I really want to listen to each one of these and rediscover any secret gems that I would have otherwise forgotten about! Thank you!

When are 56-59 coming?

That Now 55 playlist is a dream to 14 year old me who wasn’t sure whether to buy that or Hits 56 at the time, and ended up getting neither until they were a pound each at charity shops years later 😂 You can just feel the hot summer sun from that year even by just reading the tracklist!

It is very similar, although a shade lighter. And here's the tracklist, out on February 6th. Not sure what the purpose of the George Michael song is unless it's an extended version that isn't labeled.

Why February when they usually release them in January and also, they’re making an excuse to include George Michael when A Different Corner only has an extended version that’s 30 seconds longer. What’s next? Edge Of Heaven opening part 2? George’s label seriously need to get over their track 1 obsession. When George was alive, he didn’t give a toss where they put him on an album. I wonder if part 2 will be released in April or May? If it’s May, it means they’ll have pushed them back a month and 12" 1987 will be released in August and November
