NOW That’s What I Call Christmas

4CD edition comes in deluxe hardcover book format

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Does anyone really need another compilation of festive pop songs? Probably not, but we’re getting one anyway and there’s some mild interest here, in that the new NOW That’s What I Call Christmas compilation is adopting the Yearbook approach, with 3LP coloured vinyl editions and two 4CD sets, including a deluxe hardcover book edition.

Beyond that it’s fairly much what you’d expect, albeit quite generous with 87 Christmas songs on the 4CD sets including Wham!, Boney M., Shakin’ Stevens, Cliff, Chris Rea (stuck in his car, again), the Pretenders, Elton, The Pogues with Kirsty MacColl, Greg Lake, Mud, Jona Lewie, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, Paul Young, The Flying Pickets, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and more!

4CD in deluxe hardcover book

As a big Kate Bush fan it’s disappointing that ‘December Will Be Magic Again’ (either in ‘Bongo’ or standard versions) is missing, but we know Kate’s music doesn’t often get approved for licensing. That is particularly stupid in this case, it has to be said. So her publishers say something like: “Kate, you know that song you wrote for people to listen to and enjoy at Christmas?”. “Yes…”. “Is it okay if ‘NOW’ put it on a Christmas compilation, for people to listen to and enjoy at Christmas?” Kate: “No”. “Er, okay…”.

NOW That’s What I Call Christmas will be released on 1 November 2024.
