Now 12″ 80s: 1983 Part Two

Now That’s What I Call Music’s year-by-year 12-inch series continues with NOW 12″ 80s: 1983 – Part Two, a 4CD set featuring more extended mixes from the year they like to call ‘1983’.

Lots of good stuff on here, mixing familiar fare (‘Blue Monday’, ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ etc.) with some less obvious selections. However 1983 was such a big commercial year and of course marked the start of the Now That’s What I Call Music series, so there’s not going to be too much you don’t know (scroll down for full tracklisting).

49 tracks across the four discs and as usual these come in the card sleeves, not the deluxe hardcover books of their Yearbook cousins, which at least keeps it very cheap in price.

Now 12″ 80s: 1983 – Part Two will be released on 18 October 2024.
