NOW 12″80s: 1982 Part One

NOW That’s What I Call Music continue their year-themed 12″ 80s series with a 4CD set which covers 1982.

Actually, so good was 1982 that this new 4CD is, in fact, only ‘Part One’. The 48 tracks included are extended, full-length or remixed versions of pop hits of the day, reflecting the move from disco to synth-pop/new wave.

The first disc includes the likes of Duran Duran (‘Rio (Part II)’), Spandau Ballet (‘Instinction (Remix)’), Visage (‘The Damned Don’t Cry (Dance Mix)’), The Human League (‘Mirror Man (Extended Version)’), Japan (‘Life In Tokyo (1982 12″ Extended Remix)’), Gary Numan (‘Music For Chameleons (Extended Version)’) and Tears For Fears (‘Pale Shelter (Long Version)’). 

CD 2 kicks off with Carly Simon and the brilliant Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards written and produced hit ‘Why’, before moving on to Rockers Revenge feat. Donnie Calvin with ‘Walking On Sunshine’, and P-Funk from George Clinton with ‘Loopzilla’. Culture Club, Bananarama, The Belle Stars and Bucks Fizz also feature.

CD3 has a disco/funk/soul vibe with hits from Shalamar (‘A Night To Remember’), The Boys Town Gang (‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’), Patrick Cowley feat. Sylvester (the extended remix of ‘Do You Wanna Funk’) and Imagination’s ‘Just An Illusion’ in its full 12-inch glory. Spandau Ballet, Daryl Hall & John Oates and Haircut 100 appear later on.

The final disc is the ‘indie’ selections with classic 12-inches from New Order, Associates, Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Cure. Simple Minds are represented with the German 12” Remix of ‘New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)’ and A Flock Of Seagulls’ ‘Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)’ also features. The set finishes with Thomas Dolby and Soft Cell.

NOW 12” 80s: 1982 Part One will be released on 19 January 2024. Full tracklisting is below.
