Now That’s What I Call Music 13

The Now That’s What I Call Music team continue to reissue the original compilations and have announced NOW 13 for re-release next month.

Originally put out in November 1988, this compilation marks a shift towards dance music and, in particular, Acid House. It includes tracks from Bomb the Bass (‘Don’t Make Me Wait’), Inner City (‘Big Fun’) from Yazz & The Plastic Population (‘The Only Way Is Up) and D-Mob feat. Gary Haisman (‘We Call It Acieed’).

There’s still plenty of 80s pop/rock however, with contributions from Erasure (‘A Little Respect’), Duran Duran (‘I Don’t Want Your Love’), Bryan Ferry (‘Let Stick Together’), Robert Palmer (‘She Makes My Day’), Level 42 (‘Heaven in My Hands’) and The Human League (‘Love Is All That Matters To Me’). It’s interesting to note that what you might broadly call ‘indie’ bands are all but absent.

The reissue omits Phil Collin’s ‘A Groovy Kind Of Love’ and therefore offers 31 not 32 ‘Top Chart Hits’. We know Collins’ has ‘previous’ when it comes to his songs not ‘clearing’ for licensing.

Now That’s What I Call Music 13 is reissued on 18 November 2022.
