Now Yearbook 1989
78 hits from the end of the decade

NOW Music finally ‘finish off’ the 1980s with their Yearbook series with a focus on 1989.
This final Yearbook for the decade we like to call ‘the Eighties’ starts with Queen‘s ‘I Want It All’ and ends with Band Aid II’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ (the ‘unofficial’ Band Aid single according to a revisionist Bob Geldof!).
In between are 76 other tracks including hits from Simple Minds, Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry, Fine Young Cannibals, Kylie, Jason, Holly Johnson, New Order, Bros, Transvision Vamp, Roachford (“there’s no fog!”), The Beautiful South, Living in a Box, Tears For Fears, R.E.M., Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, The Cure, Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians, Sam Brown, The Bangles, Simply Red and many more.

The familiar formats are available: deluxe hardcover book 4CD edition, 3LP coloured vinyl (pink this time, with 42 tracks) and the standard card sleeved 4CD set.
NOW Yearbook 1989 will be released on 25 April 2025.
