NOW presents… Electronic: limited edition 5LP vinyl box
Strictly limited on black vinyl
Now That’s What I Call Music follow up last year’s The 70s vinyl box set with Electronic, another numbered and limited edition 5LP package which highlights some of the most innovative and enduringly popular tracks of the genre, and includes some era-defining twelve-inch, extended, and full-length versions alongside the single versions.
Across the five records you’ll find massive hits – ‘Relax’, ‘Take On Me’ (the extended mix), ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)’, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’, Vienna etc. alongside some more nuanced selections, including (remarkably) Kate Bush’s superb (flop) single ‘The Dreaming’, Propaganda’s ‘Dr Mabuse’, ‘The Number One Song In Heaven’ by Sparks, Furniture’s ‘Brilliant Mind’, Telex’s Moscow Diskow and Japan’s ‘Taking Islands in Africa’.
Other extended mixes including Eurythmics’ Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four), Soft Cell’s Torch and Yello’s ‘The Race’. Full track listings can be found below.
As with the now out-of-print The 70s set, this vinyl box is strictly limited, in this instance to 1200 copies worldwide. The box sets are all numbered on the back.
NOW presents Electronic will be released on 19 August 2022.
