Now That's What I Call Music

released November 28 , 1983.

Says 'CD' but i don't think there were CDs then .

Apart from Waterfront, Temptation & Love Cats, Now That's What I Call Quite Sh1te

I like the majority of those tbh , certainly a few shockers in there though . Limahl and Peabo Bryson especially horrendous

Guaranteed that the original is 100x better than volume 89. CDs were available in 1981, tobes.

Make that '82!

There are, at least, 6 all-time classics on  it.
Tracey Ullman - great pop singer.  Gave birth to The Simpsons.  For which we will be eternally grateful.

Red,Red Wine.  Aaaahhh ....

i had 1,2,3 on vinyl and my dad convinced me to include them at a boot sale years back. Gutted.

Now my 4 year old listens to now's latest albums on their app on my smartphone. funny old world.

still got the first one somewhere on tape, another company launched a version around the same time which was the same format but I think they only got to about volume no.3

yeah BB , 'Hits' that was if i recall ....

I think you're right tobes

hardly recognise a single one from the 1995 one (other than re eleases and some dire covers )
