NOW Yearbook 1988
4CD sets and 3LP coloured vinyl
Now That’s What I Call Music’s next Yearbook will be focused on 1988.
NOW Yearbook ’88 will be available as a deluxe 4CD set in hardcover book packaging and a standard 4CD offering with card sleeve. Both feature 82 tracks. The 3LP coloured vinyl edition cuts this down to 45 tracks.
The first disc of NOW Yearbook 88 opens with George Michael’s ‘Father Figure’ and includes Duran Duran’s I Don’t Want Your Love, and ‘You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart’ by Eurythmics,’ Heart’ by Pet Shop Boys, New Order’s ‘Blue Monday ‘88’, a-ha’s ‘Stay On These Roads’, and Yello’s biggest hit to date ‘The Race’.
CD 2 has a PWL phase with Kylie, Bananarama, Jason etc. and follows with dance tunes from the likes of S’Express (‘Theme From S-Express’), and Yazz & The Plastic Population with ‘The Only Way Is Up’,
Great to see Springsteen open disc three (‘Tougher Than The Rest’ from Tunnel of Love) and it all goes a bit ‘rock’ for a bit with Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi and Billy Idol.
